Adriana Petersen
adrianaweb2Adriana Petersen's search and recruitment career spans over 25 years and more than 3,000 placements across the world.   Her early beginnings in the industry date back to early 1980's, when in Philadelphia, PA and at the age of 22 years old, she became the youngest owner/manager of the Snelling & Snelling franchise system. 

For many years, Petersen's Snelling and Snelling office consistently ranked in the top 10 revenue producing offices out of 300 offices nationwide.  After successfully selling that firm in the early 90's, she then relocated to Southern California to start her own independent firm specialized in the medical device/pharma/biotech industry, which eventually became Madison Shea ES.

Madison Shea ES became one of the early premier boutique search firms and it partnered in talent search and acquisition with major organizations such as Stryker Corporation and all of its divisions, Merck & Co., Pfizer, Wesley Jessen, Phillips Medical, among many others.    
 
After many years at the lead of Madison Shea ES, she sold that firm to her partners and most recently has created what many believe to be the most customer-oriented, high caliber search firm in the life sciences industry, NEXUSBioMed.

NEXUSBioMed ES is a strategic business alliance between a high performance executive search organization and the leading talent assessment/selection and organizational development company in the United States, HUMANeX Ventures www.humanexventures.com.
