About Origo

Origo is built around a simple principle: deeply embedded, hands-on work, led by Origo’s Founder and Principal Consultant, Taran Jefferson.
Every project, whether it’s a full system design, performing an executive search, or curating an interview workshop to improve hiring, the work starts and stays under his leadership. He sets the strategy, runs initial discovery and intake, and remains available and accountable through every phase.

For larger or more complex engagements, we scale the work by leveraging a trusted bench of senior freelancers who are proven across biotech and high-growth teams. These Talent, HR and Operations expert partners each share in The Origo Philosophy, making sure that every project carries the high-potency and consistent execution that your team deserves.

This model gives you the focus and ownership of a solo consultant, with the delivery power of a small, experienced team, without the overhead or noise of a bloated agency model.
