Stevenson Search Partners Establishes Advisory Board
February 17, 2026 – Fort Lee, NJ-based Stevenson Search Partners, a global life science executive search firm and a Hunt Scanlon Top 50 ranked search firm, has established an advisory board and appointed Amelia Tyagi as its inaugural member. The creation of the advisory board marks a strategic milestone as the firm enters its next phase of growth, designed to bring diverse perspectives, high-impact networks, and proven expertise to accelerate Stevenson’s expansion of its integrated talent solutions platform.
“Amelia brings the exact expertise we need to accelerate our next phase of growth,” said Larry Dolinko, CEO of Stevenson Search Partners. “We’ve built a thriving business over 40 years with deep client relationships and market leadership in life sciences executive search. As we continue to grow and expand our on-demand talent solutions, Amelia’s proven playbook, her Fortune 500 enterprise sales expertise, and her M&A experience will help us execute growth faster and more effectively. She understands both the opportunities and challenges of scaling a talent platform while maintaining the quality and client focus that define us.”
In her advisory capacity, Ms. Tyagi will provide counsel to Mr. Dolinko and the executive leadership team on enterprise growth strategy, platform scaling, M&A evaluation, and market positioning as Stevenson expands its integrated executive search and on-demand talent solutions offerings. “Her track record building and scaling talent marketplaces, including in depth experience serving Fortune 500 clients and life sciences organizations, will be instrumental as Stevenson strengthens its competitive positioning, expands client relationships, and builds a scalable operating model for sustainable growth.” The firm said.
Ms. Tyagi co-founded Business Talent Group in 2007 and scaled it before its acquisition by Heidrick & Struggles in 2021. She currently serves as managing director at Sellside Group, LLC and as a board member of the California Workforce Development Board. She holds a BA from Brown University and an MBA from the Wharton School.
“Stevenson has demonstrated strong, consistent performance and holds a leadership position in life sciences executive search,” said Jack Wigdale, president and CEO of SixSibs Capital, Stevenson’s family office investor. “Amelia’s appointment signals our commitment to accelerating growth and expanding our platform capabilities. Her expertise scaling BTG to $90 million+ in revenue, combined with her M&A and enterprise sales experience, will help Stevenson capitalize on significant market opportunities and strengthen their competitive advantages. This is about taking a strong company and making it even stronger.”
