New York, April 2026 – New York-founded recruitment firm Metric is proud to announce the successful placement of Kasper Øland as Vice President of Sales Execution at Samsung Biologics. One of the world’s leading contract development and manufacturing organizations, Samsung Biologics provides end-to-end biologics services spanning cell line development, process and analytical development, CGMP manufacturing, and aseptic fill/finish – partnering with biopharma companies globally to bring life-saving treatments to market with speed, precision, and scale.
The search was led by Sam McElroy, Director at Metric Bio.
Reflecting on the process, Kasper Øland commented: “I had the opportunity to work with Sam throughout a long recruitment process and appreciated his approach from start to finish. He was responsive, transparent, and direct in his communication, which made the process easy to navigate. What stood out most to me was his honesty in feedback and his willingness to have straightforward discussions rather than keeping candidates engaged simply as a backup option. That level of professionalism and respect is not always common in recruitment, and was something I valued throughout the process.”
Speaking of the placement, Sam McElroy commented: “Samsung Biologics operates at the very forefront of the CDMO space, and identifying the right commercial leader for an organization of that caliber demands genuine sector expertise and a precise understanding of what effective sales execution looks like in a highly technical biologics environment. Kasper is an exceptional fit for this role, and I’m delighted to have supported Samsung Biologics in making this appointment.”
