For partners

Send me a company when the commercial plan is the gap.

For VCs and PE operating partners, biotech law firms, CROs and regulatory firms, banks and trade agencies whose clients need senior commercial leadership.

When to introduce a company

Typical triggers.

VCs and PE operating partners

A portfolio company is approaching launch without a commercial leader; a launch is behind plan; you need commercial diligence or a launch-case stress test before investing. Not advice from the sidelines: an operator who has run P&Ls up to $2.2B.

Biotech law firms

A client is negotiating a licensing or co-promotion deal and needs the commercial case behind the terms; a client is choosing between partnering and building in the U.S.

CROs and regulatory firms

A sponsor is nearing approval and has a clinical and regulatory plan but no commercial one.

Banks and corporate finance

A client needs an independent read on a commercial forecast, or a commercial leader around a transaction.

Trade and investment agencies

A company from your country is preparing to enter the U.S. market with a medicine or a healthcare product.

How I work alongside you

Your client stays your client.

  • You stay in the loop, with your client’s permission.
  • Conflict check before any engagement; NDA before details are shared.
  • Client names are never shared without written permission.
  • If Scalar isn’t the right fit, I’ll tell you.
