Every product needs a robust business model to scale

From idea to commercial strategy
Establishing longterm partnerships
Building real patient centricity
Transformational leadership
You know your product. But how do you price it, position it, and build a model that scales?

I help you design a business model and go-to-market strategy that is grounded in how healthcare systems actually work. We'll define your value proposition, identify your real decision-makers, and build a launch plan you can execute.

  • Business model design

  • Go-to-market strategy and process

  • Portfolio and brand positioning

  • Product launch planning

You want pharma as a partner or investor. But you don't know what they need, or who to talk to.

This is where most startups lose months — or years. I spent 20 years inside big pharma. I know how decisions are made, what a credible proposal looks like, and how to build the trust that turns a conversation into a partnership.

  • Understanding the pharma business model and decision processes

  • Crafting proposals for partnership or investment

  • Navigating pharma organisations

  • Building long-term, results-oriented partnerships

You want patients involved — but don't know how.

I help you build a structured, meaningful process for engaging patients and patient associations at the right moments, so your product reflects real-world needs and your partners see a credible development approach.

  • Defining a patient-centric development process

  • Principles and practice of patient engagement

  • Connecting with patients and patient associations

You're scaling — and the team, structure, or leadership needs to catch up.

Sometimes a startup needs more than advice. I can step in as an interim leader, join your board, or work directly with your leadership team to build the organisational capability you need for the next stage.

  • Interim or fractional leadership

  • Non-executive board membership

  • Board advisory

  • Leadership mentoring and organisational development

Most digital health startups don't fail because their product is wrong. They fail because commercialisation is harder than expected — the business model isn't proven, pharma partnerships take years to close, and the team doesn't have the experience to navigate it all at speed.

That's exactly where I come in!
