In San Diego, the stage includes an additional lab designer, Shannon Haldeman. “As our clients need a more sophisticated approach to address their complex national needs, it is important that they are able to have a large bench of highly skilled biomedical scientists,” said Austin Barrett, vice president of executive and life sciences operations at North The United States leading the Savills.
By adding people with a scientific background rather than national origin, Barrett said the Savills can offer a wide range of life sciences and best-in-class technology companies.
“Traditionally, most sales pitches are done with two brokers in a room and a customer,” Barrett said. “What we’re trying to do is bring a variety of different technologies to the table. We’re thinking of an additional system of geography.”
Haldeman was a laboratory manager and security expert at Abrix, a pharmaceutical company based in La Jolla.
Haldeman earned a master’s degree in public health, policy and public health research from the University of Pittsburgh and a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Indiana, Pennsylvania.
Barrett said there are likely to be more people with similar backgrounds in science in San Diego in the coming year.
The move to strengthen its presence in the life sciences market follows the acquisition of Savills June 2021 by T3 Advisors, a national consulting firm for life sciences and technology companies established in Boston in 2001.
The company was renamed T3 Advisors, Savills Company.
