Advisory

The Advisory Practice is led by Greg Bell, supported by Sean Morgan-Jones, whose combined experience delivers unique insights into the opportunities and pitfalls associated with building operations beyond the comfort of company Headquarters.  They offer practical advice, based on real-world experience on how best to execute this strategy, and ranges from the huge variation in employment contracts – particularly across Europe – to the timing and phasing of any roll-out by functional area.

Our established relationships with key Governmental representatives in the major European centres, help inform decisions on where to best locate European Headquarters in order to take best advantage of both regional incentives and the Biopharma talent pool.

We have strategic partners to support our advisory service right across the full spectrum when launching new products. These partners cover a wide and diverse spectrum including Market Access/Pricing, Regulatory, Medical, Legal, Research, Communications, Governments, Training, HR, Payroll and Investors.

Board, C-suite, Leadership

Great science deserves great teams and great teams need exceptional leadership. This applies right across the whole value chain from Drug Development through to Commercialisation, and getting the right leadership team in place early is a critical success factor. We have an enviable track record of advising and building top Boards and Leadership teams globally, spearheaded by CEO and Founder, Greg Bell, ably supported Sean Morgan-Jones (CCO) and Senior Client Partners Magdalena Meyer, Iman Askari and Emile Hadian.

Medical Affairs

Our clients are focused on leading edge scientific innovation, making Medical and Medical Affairs a pivotal function. Simon Felton, one of the sector’s most knowledgeable and experienced consultants, leads this practice.

Technical Operations

Our Technical Operations practice spans Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance and Pharmacovigilance.

Each discipline plays a critical role in the safe and effective delivery of medicines to patients, with Regulatory Affairs playing a central role as the interface between the health agencies and various functions within the business.  Expertise in the regulatory environment, combined with a strategic overview and the ability to work cross-functionally, makes professionals in this discipline highly sought after. Quality Assurance ensures health providers can be confident that every unit provided reaches the required quality standards and is compliant with all the regulatory standards.  Constant monitoring through Pharmacovigilance maintains that confidence over time with constant monitoring used to prevent Adverse Drug Reactions.
