Hi Karen,

I would recommend to check the following companies:

  • ZS Associates
  • LEK
  • IQVIA
  • Clearview

As mentioned by Pedro, most Tier 2 companies also have a practice on that.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Hi Karen,

Several Tier 2 should have relevant practices, depending of course on the office. Roland Berger has a good practice (in German speaking countries), L.E.K (at least in London).

All the Big4 (EY, Delloite, PwC, KPMG) and Accenture also have life science and healthcare practices. 

Other than that you would have to look for boutique firms.

LEK, Clearview, ZS Associates, Putnam Associates, Health Advances, Trinity Partners, IQVIA are some notable LS firms (IQVIA is considered a little lesser than the others).

EY-P LS practice is also growing, as are LS practices of other Big 4 strategy arms (S&, Accenture Strategy, Deloitte Monitor LS in that order)

#1 BCG coach | MBB | Tier 2 | Digital, Tech, Platinion | 100% personal success rate (8/8) | 95% candidate success rate

Hi Karen!

Merck, Clearview, and LEK Life Sciences are the ones I typically have candidates reaching out for help in - they seem to be the most popular (at least here!)
