What We Do

Our capabilities include, among others, setting corporate and divisional strategy, developing business plans, reviewing organic and inorganic growth road-maps, analysing product positioning and providing competitive benchmarking. Leveraging our expertise, we analyse macro secular and cyclical trends as well as sector specific drivers (e.g. competition, technology, regulatory) and overlay this work with the particular characteristics of the company and the nature of the project.

Our team will work under tight deadlines in a seamless manner alongside the investment teams of our clients. Our deep understanding of the investment process of private equity and debt funds, venture capital funds, family offices and other sources of permanent capital, allow us to be an effective partner during the investment, divestment or financing process. The scope of a due diligence mandate can be broad or targeted to certain areas, depending on the specific needs.

We work with established corporates to implement horizontal digital strategies across their businesses, including companies who work with artificial intelligence, machine learning, data collection and data analytics. We provide support to start-ups in the context of raising financing, reviewing strategic partnerships and overall organic growth plans. In this context, our extensive network of contacts and credibility in the healthcare sector has proven a very valuable asset for our clients.

We offer an innovative multi-year strategy-as-a-service modular product that combines virtual and in-person sessions to develop detailed strategic action plans, including financial planning forecasts. In close collaboration with senior managers, we jointly build bottoms up all the traditional elements of strategic planning. Management buy-in, ease of use and economic value are the key reasons behind the success of this programme. 

We help clients develop operational plans that review current organisational and operational structures and capabilities, as well as identifying potential gaps. Our investor clients value our familiarity with the assets by the time the acquisition if completed and our ability to seamlessly deep dive shortly after the completion of a transaction. We also support operators in delining operational plans that ensure compliance with required standards.

We regularly work alongside investment teams, and their specialist operating partners, to provide a broader perspective to the key technical issues underpinning a potential acquisition. We are able to translate critical concepts to business language that can be incorporated into decision frameworks. Our front-line clinical experience also allows us to diligence the strengths and weaknesses of operating frameworks, resource planning schedules and overall operating procedures.

Most often we create our datasets from primary data sources, including leveraging Freedom of Information requests to public organisations, panel surveys and first-hand market information. Our team includes data scientists and programmers that support the work of our consultants in analysing vast amounts of often unstructured data in different formats from different sources. We build and maintain market intelligence across multiple sectors and subsectors that we leverage for our client work.

We take pride in the mutually beneficial relationships that we have built over decades with our thought leaders. Our network combines accomplished individuals with deep scientific and medical field expertise, successful corporate track records, outstanding investment acumen and recognised public opinion leaders. We are often sought after given our stellar reputation which has been built through our work in conjunction with our external network.

Consequently, our team includes individuals with varied educational and professional backgrounds that together bring business and financial expertise, deep medical knowledge, scientific rigour and technology edge. Our team qualifications are reflective of this objective, and includes doctors, PhDs and MBAs. Further, our team reflects the broad geographic footprint of our client base with nationalities and language capabilities covering all major economic areas of the world.

Over the years we have followed closely the regulatory, business and financial evolution of all the subsectors in which we operate. The benefit of this perspective continuously proves to be an asset of significant benefit to our clients. With this perspective, we are able to understand the current competitive environment for the businesses we review and put forward potential future scenarios that may play out and affect strategic, business and investment decisions for our clients.
