Stevenson Search Partners and HAVEN Unite to Launch Tidemark Talent Solutions
Stevenson Search Partners, a trusted executive search and on-demand talent advisor in the global life sciences industry, and HAVEN, a leadership development advisory firm, have announced a strategic partnership under Tidemark Talent Solutions — a newly formed holding company focused on building an integrated human capital platform. Tidemark will seek to acquire and scale high-performing specialist firms while sharing infrastructure, operational resources, and go-to-market strategy across the platform.
The platform is led by Larry Dolinko, current CEO of Stevenson Search Partners, who has been named CEO of Tidemark, overseeing both entities. While Stevenson and HAVEN will each continue offering their own specialized services, clients will now gain access to a broader set of capabilities across every stage of the leadership lifecycle.
"Tidemark was built to address a gap we consistently saw in the market. By bringing these capabilities together under one unified platform, we can provide clients with a more integrated, consistent approach to leadership and organizational performance."
— Larry Dolinko, CEO, Tidemark Talent SolutionsClosing the Leadership-Lifecycle Gap
The model is designed to address the disconnect that often exists between firms that help companies find talent and those that help that talent succeed once in role. Traditionally, organizations engage multiple firms across search, on-demand staffing, assessment, coaching, and development, often with limited continuity between engagements. Tidemark brings these capabilities into a more coordinated model while letting each company keep its own brand, leadership, and specialized expertise.
"We've long believed that finding the right leadership and developing that leadership are two sides of the same coin. By combining under Tidemark, we can now offer clients this range of services in a seamless, integrated way. This is what the market has been missing."
— Jennifer Marchi, Founder, HAVENComplementary Strengths in Life Sciences
The two firms describe the union as a natural one, having collaborated for years across mutual clients. Together they bring complementary expertise across executive search, on-demand talent, leadership advisory, coaching, and organizational development, backed by deep relationships throughout the life sciences sector. Stevenson contributes more than 40 years of search experience with offices in the U.S. and U.K., while Boston-based HAVEN, founded in 2015, adds practitioner-led leadership development serving life sciences, financial services, and PE/VC-backed companies.
