About the CEO
Duchesse Kala-Kala, Founder & CEO
I began my recruitment career in 2012, leading global hiring campaigns for pharma, biotech, and CRO clients across the life sciences sector. Those early years shaped my values of perseverance, authenticity, and purpose—especially as a Black woman building an independent agency in a competitive industry.

I had the pleasure of having Duchesse as my recruiter for my current role at Patsnap and at the time of this recommendation I'm 4 years into the company! She was great to work with, organised, and ensured I had the best experience during the hiring process.
PATSNAP
Sales Account Executive
Your support helped me a lot in my career journey. The interview process and
feedback gave me more confidence and a better understanding of what companies
look for in clinical research roles. Even though I was not selected for the first
position, you kept my details and later connected me to a company where I am now
working as a Clinical Trial Associate.
