PHILADELPHIA, PA — True launched a dedicated longevity-focused executive search practice aimed at companies operating at the intersection of healthcare, life sciences and consumer wellness, as investment in healthspan-related technologies and aging research accelerates globally.
The company stated the new practice will focus on recruiting leadership talent for businesses developing therapeutics, diagnostics, preventative medicine and consumer health products tied to aging and long-term health outcomes.
According to True, the practice combines personnel from its consumer, healthcare and life sciences divisions to support companies seeking executives capable of navigating both scientific development and consumer adoption.
The practice will be led in North America by Todd Zangrillo and in Europe, the Middle East and Africa by Sophia Mowla.
The firm stated the longevity sector increasingly requires executives with scientific and clinical expertise alongside operational experience in scaling consumer-facing businesses, particularly as companies move from research and development into commercialization.
Zangrillo indicated the sector is approaching an inflection point similar to earlier growth cycles in artificial intelligence and energy transition markets, where companies required leadership capable of building entirely new business categories.
Mowla stated advances in the scientific understanding of aging are increasing demand for leaders able to evaluate the credibility and commercial viability of emerging healthspan technologies.
True stated the practice will support organizations across North America, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, targeting founders, investors and companies seeking to commercialize aging-related healthcare and wellness innovations.
The company said the initiative reflects broader growth in the longevity market, where businesses are increasingly focused on extending “healthspan” — the length of time individuals remain healthy — rather than simply increasing lifespan.
