Business Model & Business Strategy Consultations
I have provided advisory services to a host of national and international private equity, angel and self-funded companies on such topics as; telemedicine, e-pharmacy, innovation in the individual and employer market as well as adjacency identification for product investments. These consults helped the client determine such things as; how to strengthen their business model, invest in new markets, mature their go to market strategy, as well as create key partnerships to differentiate in the market.
Innovation and Partnerships for an Insurance Association
Our client sought to diversify its offerings by creating a new channel to engage external partners and association members to create new products and services for existing and future clients.
