I bring Patient Enterprise leadership into your organization on a part-time basis. That means setting the strategy for how patient context informs your decisions, building the operating model and internal culture to sustain it, and sitting at the leadership table as Patient Enterprise evolves. The scope flexes to what your business needs, from a focused engagement to ongoing enterprise leadership.
A consultant delivers a recommendation and leaves. An agency executes campaigns. I operate as part of your leadership, accountable for outcomes rather than deliverables. My background is 25 years inside life sciences companies, most recently as Chief Patient Officer at Amicus Therapeutics, so I build leadership, culture, systems, and reltionships that hold after the engagement ends.
The earlier patient context shapes your decisions, the more it strengthens them. I work with companies across the lifecycle, from preclinical and clinical-stage through launch readiness, label expansion, and complex transition moments. If you are making decisions that impact patients and weighing whether patient context belongs in the room, that is usually the sign it does.
That is often the right outcome, and I help you get there. Part of the work is building the leadership systems and internal capability that make a permanent hire successful, and I can help define the role, shape the search, and hand off cleanly. The goal is a patient enterprise that grows with your company, whether I stay involved or not.
