About
Our Story
Building Blocks is a boutique search practice focused on growth-stage digital health and life sciences. For 25 years we’ve partnered with PE/VC-backed companies where precision matters most. Our approach is deliberate: align stakeholders, calibrate the role, map the market, and deliver a shortlist that sticks. The result is clarity, trust, and leaders who last.
At Building Blocks, we measure success by leaders who thrive long after the placement, not by searches completed.
