Frequently Asked Questions About Our Consulting Services
What types of consulting services do you offer?
I offer specialized consulting for biopharmaceutical companies and investors. Core services include regulatory medical writing (protocols, clinical study reports, BLA/NDA submissions, briefing documents, and agency responses), regulatory submission planning and execution, and AI tool selection and onboarding. I also provide strategic advisory services including needs assessments, gap analyses, organizational build-out, and fractional or interim functional leadership across Medical Writing, Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs, and Medical Communications.
For venture capital and private equity firms, I offer industry-specific due diligence support and acquisition evaluations — providing expert assessment based on my ~30 years in the biopharmaceutical industry to help you invest and transact with confidence.
How does your consulting process work?
Every engagement starts with understanding your goals. For operating companies, I tailor my approach based on whether you need hands-on execution, team leadership, or interim functional coverage. For investor clients, I structure engagements around the specific questions driving your decision — such as functional capabilities or transaction readiness — and deliver clear, actionable assessments on your timeline. Across all engagements, I bring a disciplined focus on quality and execution, with a track record of delivering in time-sensitive environments.
How do you determine your pricing for consulting services?
Pricing is customized based on the scope, complexity, and duration of each engagement. I offer flexible models — including hourly and retainer arrangements — to suit organizations ranging from emerging biotechs to large pharma and investment firms. Please reach out to discuss your needs and we can identify the right structure together.
Can you provide references from past clients?
Yes. I have a strong track record with a wide range of clients including Takeda, Shire, Alexion, among others. I've led teams through five BLA/NDA/NDS submissions on or ahead of schedule, supported drug approvals across FDA, Health Canada, and Japanese health authorities, and advised on M&A and corporate transactions. References are available upon request.
