Mark Chaumeton

Client Services Manager

I relocated to North Carolina in late 2023 to play a crucial role in growing the business both internally and externally. I am responsible for establishing and managing client relationships, partnering with organizations across North America to help them achieve their recruitment goals throughout the lifecycle of their projects.

I have been in recruitment since 2017, and I pride myself in having advanced specialist skills and professional knowledge of the life science industry that I utilize to support the clients and candidates I work with.

Away from the office I am enjoying exploring my new city; playing football, pickeball and enjoying all the local bars and breweries!
