Pharmaceutical Executive and Medical Practitioner Vikash Salig Joins ZRG’s Life Sciences Practice

Rochelle Park, NJ, September 8, 2020 – ZRG announced today the addition of Vikash Salig as Managing Director. As part of the firm’s Life Sciences Practice, Vikash will help Life Sciences, healthcare, and related companies to build exceptional management teams.

Vikash brings dual medical and business backgrounds to ZRG, which was recently named the fastest-growing global executive search firm. He held executive roles with both Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories and Aspen Pharmacare after starting his career as a family medical practitioner in South Africa in 1990. More recently, he served two other US-based executive search firms, primarily working with Life Sciences clients.

Vikash’s dual background gives him a distinct advantage when it comes to identifying Life Sciences and healthcare industry leaders within a competitive field of talent. He has led transformational initiatives both as an executive and an advisor, and further, he has amassed a global professional network within emerging markets and Europe and North America grounded in his specialized healthcare expertise.

“From holding executive positions on nearly every continent to spearheading Aspen’s project to introduce generic antiretroviral drugs in Africa, Vikash’s career has seen many unique – and impressive – accomplishments,” said ZRG’s CEO, Larry Hartmann. “With his strong pharmaceutical background and wealth of advising experience, I’m confident Vikash will pair his clients with the right leaders continue transforming the lives of patients worldwide.”

Vikash added, “I was drawn to ZRG by Larry Hartmann’s clarity, creative thinking, and integrity and the shared DNA I saw in many of my new colleagues: highly intelligent with humility, passion, and a drive to be the best. As a doctor and advisor, a caring nature and client-first mentality have always been important to me, and I’m proud to join an organization that holds these same values.”
