Nothing else.
Cardea.
New and experienced at the same time
Cardea is both new and full of experience. The consultants have worked in leading positions in the life science industry for at least 20 years, their expertise is documented and verifiable.
Cardea has its roots in the personal consultancy Comites, but acts completely independently and autonomously. Cardea‘s service portfolio goes beyond personnel consulting: As a „trusted advisor“, we advise and support where the success of life science companies is decided – not only in personnel selection.
Cardea focuses solely on Life Science. No more, no less.
Who we are
Dr. med. Andreas Föller
Andreas Föller bears a Dr. med. before his name. He is a doctor. And economist. His path led him from the university hospital to consulting. In the meantime he has more than 30 years of experience – first in top management, then in personnel consulting. The stations were Roland Berger & Partner, where he quickly rose from Consultant to Principal, and Heidrick & Struggles. Here, Andreas Föller was Managing Partner Europe before setting up his own personnel consultancy with Comites. This is now followed by the foundation of Cardea. He explains why the time is ripe for Cardea:
„The decade of life sciences lies ahead of us. Executives can shape an era. Expectations and demands are enormous. What is needed, is tailor-made consulting that fits the competence profile of life science executives. And this advice must be provided at eye level. This is what brings success! This is exactly what Cardea wants and delivers.“
