The T-Rex Story
The Inflection Point
Karen Froio’s life changed forever in 2010. A decade into her thriving career in biotech talent acquisition she was diagnosed with cancer. Her three-year journey through this process which included surgery, chemotherapy, and other medical treatments, and a re-diagnosis in 2013, forever changed her perspective on the industry she served professionally.
Upon making a full recovery, Froio vowed to dedicate her professional life to bring effective therapies to people living with some of the world’s most challenging diseases. So in 2013, she launched T-Rex to infuse the field with the best talent. Since then she has been a driving force behind advancing the biopharma rare disease space by connecting the highest performers in the industry with companies dedicated to finding cures.
What’s In a Name?
When Froio founded T-Rex, she knew the company needed a powerful name to convey the tenacity her team would employ to recruit the best talent in the industry. Froio turned to her then six year old son as Chief Naming Officer and in short order, T-Rex was born. Later Froio’s brother, Glen, an executive with over 12 years of talent acquisition experience, joined the team, making T-Rex a family-led firm serving industry leading clients and top-performing professionals.
