Kian Gent

Kian brings 1.5 years of life sciences recruitment experience—and a uniquely fast-paced background as a former chef—to his role as Senior Recruitment Consultant at Discover International. Based in Krakow, Poland, he leverages the pace, precision, and attention to detail honed in professional kitchens to expertly run a high-demand contract desk, where efficiency and accuracy are essential.

Kian specializes in connecting GLP/GCP/GMP consultants, as well as QA and QC experts across R&D, clinical, and manufacturing, with CDMOs, early-stage biotechs, and life sciences start-ups throughout the U.S. East Coast, predominantly Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. His strongest focus areas include quality operations, QMS improvement, inspection readiness, and broader GLP/GMP/GCP consulting—supporting organizations as they scale, strengthen compliance, and enhance operational excellence.

Relationship-driven and highly consultative in his approach, Kian aims to truly understand how he can elevate the experience of both clients and candidates. He is committed to building long-term partnerships with likeminded professionals and is known for his speed, reliability, and ability to move processes forward without hesitation.

What motivates Kian most is the opportunity to contribute to global healthcare while connecting people with roles that genuinely excite them. With family members whose lives have been improved—and even saved—by technologies developed within the industry he now serves, he brings a personal sense of pride and purpose to his work each day.

Tenacious, passionate, and dedicated to continuous learning, Kian is driven to make a meaningful impact across the life sciences sector. He strives to place individuals into roles where they can confidently apply their expertise, grow professionally, and help advance the next generation of scientific innovation.
