JOHN RUHMANN

John began his career over three decades ago in the Bay Area, collaborating with the flagships of the biotechnology industry – Genentech, Cetus, and Chiron. John was responsible for building entire departments for these new revolutionary companies. As his career grew, he continued to build teams and senior leadership for venture-backed start-ups, mid-sized commercial organizations, and Fortune 500 ranked companies not only in Life Sciences but also in Heavy Manufacturing, Industrial Chemicals and Biofuels. John brings the same level of experience, process, and dedication to searches for companies on “Main Street” as he has done for years in Silicon Valley and other technology incubation hubs.
Since 1987, John has worked with countless companies, many of whom have developed successful products and services or achieved significant IPO successes. John’s placement of the CFO of Berkeley Lights (BLI) contributed to the company’s IPO in 2020 which raised almost $205M, reaching highs of $74 per share from an offering price of $22. BLI’s technology involved a cutting-edge cell capture and manipulation platform. John filled over 15 positions at BLI from senior management to engineering and commercial operations. Another client, LaFarge S.A., came to North America to open the largest and fastest gypsum wall board plants in the world at that time. John helped them fill critical roles in all their manufacturing plants as well as building most of their commercial sales and support teams.

Whether building management, production, or technical teams, John has always focused on his clients’ needs first. His style is sharing honest and direct feedback which helps to define the strategy and thus creates a more successful search outcome. John is excited to be a part of Impact Recruiting’s efforts to provide top-tier search and consulting for everyone, everywhere.
