Life Science

Companies in the life science sector are navigating a range of business imperatives, such as shifts in trials and approvals requirements, the flight of venture capital to “safer” sectors, reimbursement and market access constraints, and pressure to discover and commercialize therapies more quickly and at significantly lower expense.

Whether your company is well-established or newly-emerging, these issues influence your business and are critical to compensation and governance decision-making. Pearl Meyer works with life science companies, providing advice on creating philosophies, programs and strategies that enable breakthrough performance.
