The Hidden Cost of Ignoring the People Side of Growth
Your business is scaling.
Revenue is growing.
Headcount is increasing.
And somewhere between the strategy deck and the Monday morning stand-up, the people side of the business starts falling through the cracks.
Not because no one cares.
But because no one has applied the same rigour to it as they have to the business itself.
That is what Scælevia People is built for.
Because in Biotech & Life Sciences, every team you build, every culture you protect, every leader you grow, ultimately reaches a patient.

Why Scælevia People
Laurence Andrianne has built entire organizations from zero, in companies where the wrong calls on people could break the business
Twenty-five years across HR services and life sciences, in both big pharma and biotech.
She hired the first hundred employees.
She held the line on culture when compromising would have been easier.
She sat at the leadership table on equal footing, not on the sidelines.
She built Scælevia People to be the practice she wished she could have called when she was still operating from within.
One conviction drives every piece of work: "People are the strategy, not the resource."
Our core belief
“When people are treated as strategy,
organisationsbecome the kind of places where exceptional people stay, grow, and do the best work of their careers.
That is not idealism.
That is competitive advantage.”
Testimonial
" I had the privilege of working closely with Laurence for several years, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most impactful people leaders I have encountered in the industry.
When Laurence joined Legend Biotech EU, she built the organization from the ground up, making excellent hires, establishing a fully functional HR department, and shaping a culture that is genuinely inclusive and diverse.
She didn’t just execute a plan; she laid the foundations for the company’s long-term success.
What sets Laurence apart is her rare combination of vision and execution. She has a clear point of view and the conviction to turn it into reality. At the same time, she leads with empathy, always putting people at the center of everything she does.
Her passion for people development is evident in everything she does. She has an exceptional ability to quickly assess whether someone is the right fit for a role, and, perhaps even more valuably, she immediately sees the potential in people that others might miss.
Laurence is the kind of leader who makes organizations better and people grow. I wholeheartedly recommend her."
