The Difference

Clarity at the intersection of complexity and constraint

Internal teams are too close to the work. Agencies are too focused on execution. I occupy a different position — an outside perspective with inside-grade domain fluency in healthcare, pharma, and regulated enterprise.

Abbott FreeStyle Libre: Audit identified a 20% patient drop-off point in the connected device onboarding experience
Eli Lilly: Competitive and UX analysis across oncology, obesity, and clinical trial portfolios — executive-ready recommendations
AstraZeneca, GSK, and 9+ others: CI strategy and digital experience assessment inside FDA/MLR/HIPAA regulatory environments

Engagements

Structured. Scoped. Tailored to what you actually need.

Three engagement types — each defined by a clear scope, structured deliverables, and a process that protects your team's time. Fees are scoped per engagement following an initial conversation.

Full Assessment
Digital Experience Audit
Scoped per engagement · Typically 10–15 business days

A comprehensive heuristic evaluation and CX assessment of a single brand or product experience. Findings are prioritized by impact and framed for leadership — not a data dump, a strategic roadmap.

  • Heuristic evaluation (Nielsen-based framework)
  • IA and navigation assessment
  • CX gap analysis and journey review
  • Prioritized recommendation framework
  • Full report + executive readout call
Scope confirmed at kickoff · Readout included

Ongoing Advisory
CI Retainer
Monthly engagement · Structured per quarter

Continuous competitive intelligence for teams that need to stay ahead of a fast-moving landscape — without the overhead of a full-time hire. Structured as a quarterly commitment with monthly deliverables.

  • Monthly competitive landscape digest
  • Competitor activity and signal monitoring
  • Strategic recommendation memo
  • Async advisory access between deliverables
  • Quarterly landscape summary and readout

Engagement Structure

What working together actually looks like

Every engagement follows a defined structure. No ambiguity about what happens when, what you'll receive, or what's expected from your team.

Who I Work With

Teams that need clarity, fast

Not a fit for everyone — and that's intentional. These are the situations where I add the most value.

Pharma & Biotech Brand Teams
Without in-house CI capacity, or teams that need an outside perspective ahead of a launch, rebrand, or competitive shift.
Healthcare SaaS Companies
Pre-launch or post-rebrand, needing an honest assessment of their digital experience against competitors operating in the same regulated space.
Agencies — White Label
Mid-size healthcare and pharma agencies that need CI or audit support they can deliver to clients without expanding headcount.
PE-Backed Portfolio Companies
Organizations conducting due diligence, post-acquisition assessment, or competitive repositioning in regulated healthcare and enterprise markets.
How It Works

From brief to boardroom-ready

A defined, repeatable process with no ambiguity about what happens when — or what you receive at the end.

01
Brief & Scope
A 30-minute call to define the engagement, confirm competitors or experience in scope, and align on deliverable format.
02
Research & Analysis
Deep audit work using structured frameworks refined across 15 years and 12+ regulated brands. AI-accelerated where appropriate.
03
Synthesis & Framing
Findings organized into a clear strategic narrative — not a data dump. Prioritized by impact, framed for decision-makers.
04
Delivery & Readout
Executive-ready report and slide deck delivered on schedule. Optional readout call to walk through findings and answer questions.
