With over 20 years of experience in executive search and in-house talent acquisition, Kim C. Hanson brings a rare blend of Wall Street precision and biotech scaling know-how to every engagement.
Kim began his career as a Wall Street broker before moving into contingency search with Response Staffing — one of New York City’s largest firms at the time. He then joined retained search powerhouses Sullivan & Company and Pendleton James (acquired by Heidrick & Struggles and Korn Ferry, respectively), where he specialized in Capital Markets, Investment Banking, Financial Services, and Technology/Operations leadership placements across the C-suite.
His in-house career began at Amaranth Advisors LLC, a $2B hedge fund, where he was responsible for building the entire back-office function. This launched a decade of internal recruitment leadership at top-tier firms including JP Morgan, Bank of America, Columbia Management Group, and Countrywide Capital Markets, where he created the first-ever global Talent Acquisition team.
In 2008, Kim transitioned to life sciences, joining Grifols as Head of Talent Acquisition during a period of massive growth. Over 11 years, he led the buildout of TA systems and strategy as Grifols expanded from 5,000 to 16,000+ employees (11,000 in North America), scaling commercial, plasma, and manufacturing operations across 300+ sites. He ultimately served as Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Biomat USA, overseeing more than 5,000 hires annually.
After a series of successful biotech consulting roles in the Bay Area — including Jasper Therapeutics, Encodia, and Myovant — Kim returned to Los Angeles to launch Bryce Poynt Consulting, a boutique firm supporting high-growth startups across biotech, clean energy, healthcare, and finance.
Kim now partners directly with founders, CHROs, and PE-backed leadership teams to deliver fast, scalable, and human-centered recruiting solutions from the U.S. to APAC.
senior partner
Allison Creekmore
Allison is a seasoned recruitment professional with over 15 years of experience in the search industry and has held agency, in-house, and consulting roles. She discovered her passion for connecting great talent with exciting when she was serving as an office manager for a staffing agency directly out of undergrad. She also discovered a knack and passion for best practices and process streamlining.
Upon relocating to Los Angeles, Allison accepted a consulting role in the life sciences industry with Grifols, Inc. to implement and manage a pre-employment program both for corporate entities as well as for over 50 remote locations nationally. Upon successful roll out of the program, she accepted a full-time role at Grifols as a Pre-Employment manager, and also joined the recruitment team. She successfully sourced for roles at various levels of the organization and negotiated and managed various vendors, resulting in substantial savings to the organization.
Following her time at Grifols, Allison accepted a role as the Executive Director of a small nonprofit animal rescue based out of LA and San Diego, where she quickly recruited, trained and developed a team of dedicated animal professionals. Through over a decade, she was able to grow the rescue into a thriving organization, resulting in the placement of over 7,000 animals and the implementation of many community-based initiatives such as education, spay/neuter clinics, and homeless outreach. Her experience as a recruiter was instrumental to her success, as the skills she gained enabled her to successful develop relationships with a large network of adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers and to appropriately screen and make the best possible placements.
After many years serving as an ED in the nonprofit space, Allison decided to step back and serve on various boards and resume a talent acquisition / human resource business partner career in the biotech industry. She joined Bryce Poynt Consulting Services LLC in 2021, reuniting with her former manager at Grifols working on start-up biotech clients. Allison is a graduate of the University of San Diego.
