Ben O’Keefe

Executive Consultant

I’m an Executive Search Consultant in AGS Associates’ Life Science division. We support biotechs around the world in building world-class teams to lead their pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial efforts throughout the drug development process.

The opportunity to drive growth within such a critical industry — to support people’s careers, contribute to commercial success, and ultimately impact patients’ lives through successful drug development — is incredibly rewarding.

I joined AGS after graduating with a law degree, and in just over a year, I’ve built meaningful relationships with outstanding clients and candidates across the globe. I’ve made notable placements into C-Suite and executive teams at some of the world’s most innovative biotech firms developing life-changing therapies.

AGS provides a truly supportive environment for new starters to develop both professionally and personally. All we ask is that you apply yourself and work hard. AGS has shaped me into a well-rounded professional and dramatically improved my personal life too. I’m in a position where I’m looking to buy my first property, and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel, stay in luxury hotels, and dine at places I never imagined visiting. It’s genuinely been the opportunity of a lifetime.
