Advisory Services

Biopharma board governance is too consequential for generic advice. When your board is deciding whether to proceed to Phase III, evaluating an acquisition offer, or navigating a conflict between investor and independent directors, you need counsel from someone who has been in those rooms.

How I Work

I provide advisory services to biopharma board members, executives, and companies navigating governance challenges. Engagements are confidential, focused, and designed to deliver actionable guidance.

Areas of focus include:

• Board composition and recruitment strategy for clinical-stage companies
• Governance frameworks for trial go/no-go decisions
• Board preparation for fundraising, partnerships, and exit transactions
• CEO evaluation and succession planning
• Managing board dynamics, including conflicts between investor and independent directors
• Governance readiness assessments for companies approaching major milestones

Engagement Structure

Most advisory engagements begin with a single consultation to define the challenge and determine whether ongoing support would be valuable. There is no minimum commitment and no retainer required for initial conversations.
