Framework-Driven Strategic Advisory for Healthcare
Strategic Advisory
Proprietary frameworks applied to your organization’s most complex challenges — competitive positioning, market entry, organizational transformation, and strategic growth. Not theory. Not generic consulting. Frameworks that have been tested across 57 countries and every corner of healthcare.
Practitioner, Not Theorist
Chris isn’t an academic who studies healthcare from the outside. He’s built and sold three medical device companies, led PwC’s global healthcare innovation practice, and currently serves as Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Pharma Services at DarioHealth. Advisory engagements draw on this operating experience — not just frameworks, but the judgment that comes from having been in the seat.
Every engagement starts with diagnosis. Most organizations know they have a problem; what they often misdiagnose is the category of problem. A competitive positioning challenge requires different tools than an organizational transformation challenge. Chris’s proprietary frameworks ensure you’re solving the right problem with the right approach.
The analysis is bottom-up; the presentation is top-down. You get the rigor without the consulting theater.
Data Over Dogma
Every recommendation is anchored in evidence. No opinion masquerading as analysis.
“Compared to What?”
Data is never presented in isolation. Every finding includes historical, competitive, or cross-market context.
Flag, Don’t Fill
When uncertain, the gap is surfaced explicitly rather than papered over. Better to find it now than in market.
Complete Deliverables
No partial analyses or placeholder conclusions. Every engagement produces a finished, board-ready output.
