“Celebrating Bench International’s 50 years of excellence, I am reminded of their key role in helping us to shape the leadership and management for the companies and teams we’ve built over 4 decades. Bench’s commitment to shape, and identify our needs — linked to their uncanny ability to attract and present excellent leaders, managers and technical experts — have been among the key drivers for our success. We are proud to congratulate DeeDee and the Bench team as they celebrate this remarkable milestone.”

“Reflecting on my journey at Bench International, one of my most cherished memories is seeing the direct impact of our placements—whether by strategically guiding a company through critical leadership transitions or adding incredible value at pivotal times. I’m particularly proud of the work we did to support a major client’s evolution from founder-led leadership to a re-focused, innovative CEO and Board structure. This level of dedication, along with our resilience through industry challenges—from the financial crisis to the pandemic—demonstrates why Bench has been a trusted partner for 50 years. I look forward to seeing our influence continue to shape life sciences for decades to come.”

“Bench International, and the team of wonderful women who I was fortunate to work with, ultimately changed the course of my life. Placing me as the CEO of Mammogen, Inc. not only introduced me to one of the highest impact opportunities of my career, but it also forged the path for my partnership with Marty Keiser at IVBH, which has shaped me as a professional and human in ways I could have never imagined. For that, I will be eternally grateful.

I could not be more proud to celebrate their well-deserved success and massive contribution to their community, to our industry, and to the millions of lives that their work has so positively impacted over the past 50 years!! They do not simply place candidates into complementary roles. This team creates dreams, unlocks potential, and changes the world around them. For that, they should be celebrated!”

“I first connected with Bench International as a candidate. I was impressed by their professionalism and expertise, with a clear commitment to transparency and meaningful placements. Once I joined Neurvati and needed a trusted partner to build out our team, choosing Bench was an easy decision. The team understood our goals and tailored the search to our unique needs without the hard sell of “perfect” candidates one often experiences with other recruiters. Their ability to identify exceptional talent has proven invaluable. Congratulations to Bench for 50 years of transformative leadership in executive search!”

“Throughout my career in life sciences, I have never partnered with a company that can uniquely address the needs of a company across all stages of its growth, from startup to Fortune 500, quite like Bench International. Bench is a cherished partner across all of my endeavors and has always ensured that each and every placement exceeds expectations while enriching the core values of the company and preserving that ‘something special’ when it comes to corporate culture — a winning formula that has resulted in Bench’s industry-defining dominance over the last five decades.”

“It’s truly been an honor to partner with Bench International over the years, both in addressing client needs and engaging in transformative industry events. The privilege of learning from and being inspired by a true pioneer like DeeDee—who not only gives back but champions other women and fosters meaningful connections—is unmatched.

DeeDee’s example fuels my vision for the next 40+ years of AmpersandPeople. Knowing I can confidently recommend and trust Bench as a service provider adds immense value to the relationships we strive to cultivate with our clients. Here’s to celebrating 50 remarkable years of impact, innovation, and leadership, Bench Team—cheers to many more!”
