“We’re all consumed 100 hours a week with the demands of our roles. We just don’t have time to individually build relationships with peers. But one of the reasons Searchlight brings me so much value is because it allows me to work with brilliant people to tackle shared challenges together. I love that I can now pick up the phone and talk to my new network about what’s on my mind whenever I need to.”
Sally Paull, Chief Human Resources Officer, Regeneron
“Our long term flexwork strategy has been directly influenced by what we’ve heard our peers doing and thinking about in our Searchlight meetings, and at an even more granular level, we’ve picked up a number of examples of really useful specific language that we’ve heard others coining and applied it directly into our organization. It’s been so useful at such a challenging time for all of us.”
Stephanie Franklin, Chief Human Resources Officer, Vertex
“Searchlight gives me confidence that I’m heading in the right direction. I can use this network to affirm I’m on track and course correct where I need to. And just like a GPS, you don’t look at it the whole time when you’re driving, you check it from time to time. I don’t need a hundred thousand data points. I need the top thinkers in my industry, and those top thinkers have gravitated towards Searchlight.”
Martin Rexroad, Chief Culture & Community Officer, PTC Therapeutics
“Steve Schiavo, Alkermes: One thing I really value about Searchlight is that every meeting is different and can include discussions I haven’t even thought of yet or introduce an expert sharing information I wouldn't have been able to find otherwise.''
Steve Schiavo, Senior Vice President Human Resources, Alkermes
“Its one thing when we pick up the phone to connect with another member in between meetings, but another thing when there is a topic on something we may or may not be currently facing, being led by a professional and seasoned leader.”
Luan Wilfong, Chief Human Resources Officer, Revolution Medicines
“I really value the management and diligence that goes into this network. I am beyond busy but can always rely on seeing the emails i need for my Searchlight experience, and know they will always be relevant for my needs."
Lisa Van Capelle, Chief Human Resources Officer, Syneos Health
“I love what you guys are doing in Searchlight, it is a great mixture of fantastic people and relevant content".
Heather Kirby, Chief People Officer, Recursion
“I was able to show up with benchmarks, ideas and anecdotes from within the industry to say “this is what is best for our company, and here is what others are doing”
Carla Paulson, Chief People Officer, Mersana
