Diversified Search acquired BioQuest, a San Francisco-based retained search firm that specializes in the life sciences industry.

“BioQuest, with its ongoing success recruiting leaders for life sciences companies in the venture capital and private equity markets, is a marquee addition to our healthcare portfolio,” Diversified CEO and President Dale Jones said. “With BioQuest as part of the family, Diversified cements its leadership position in executive search, particularly in medical device, biopharma, diagnostics, digital health, health IT and consumer medicine.”

BioQuest will continue to operate as a separate company.

“Our clients will see no change in the high-level, high-touch service they have come to expect from us,” said Roger Anderson, co-founder and managing partner of BioQuest.
