About Pharma Directors

The mentor I didn’t have and I am now building on my own.

The Origin Story

When I got eliminated for the fourth time, I looked for a mentor who understood pharma middle management. I found kind advice but no actionable frameworks—no life raft, just life philosophy.

I spent 20 years at Novartis navigating reorgs, leading launches, and building the skills to survive and advance in one of the most volatile industries in the world. I developed frameworks for interview mastery, reorg survival, strategic thinking, and industry intelligence—not from theory, but from lived experience.

This isn’t a business I built to make money. It’s the mentor I wish I’d had when I was at my lowest.

I’m not a guru who’s never struggled. I’m a survivor who figured out how to stop drowning—and I’m throwing you the life raft I built for myself.

The Problem

Pharmaceutical directors face a career landscape that generic career coaches simply don’t understand:

  • Constant reorgs and eliminations driven by M&A, patent cliffs, and pipeline failures
  • The VP ceiling where smart, capable directors get stuck despite strong performance
  • Industry disruption from AI, digital health, and regulatory shifts that require new skills overnight
  • The MBB consulting gap where directors without McKinsey/BCG pedigree struggle to compete
  • Political complexity that requires executive presence and influence without authority

Generic career advice doesn’t work when your therapeutic area just lost patent protection, your portfolio got cut in half, and you’re competing against 200 other displaced directors for 3 open roles.
