Launch of STRAT7 Health

STRAT7 has opened a specialist business dedicated to the life sciences industry, bringing together its established experts in the area and built on twenty years of experience. The unit will be led by Lizzie Eckardt, working globally with Hannah Potter and Matt Nulty.

STRAT7 was established in 2019, is headquartered in London and employs more than 400 people in twelve locations in Europe, the US and APAC. Its seven divisions, all prefixed by STRAT7, are Advisory, Audiences, Bonamy Finch, Researchbods, Jigsaw, Incite and Crowd DNA. Last month it launched an AI moderator called Maya.

The firm says healthcare is 'changing faster, more dramatically and more unpredictably than ever' due to evolving patient expectations, digital transformation and continual waves of innovation. Its experience includes work for many of the largest global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, med tech firms, CDMOs, and specialised service providers.

STRAT7 Health will offer research and consulting capabilities including segmentation and analytics, cultural trends, insight communities and AI-enhanced analytics. Eckardt (pictured) joined the company as an Associate in 2013 and has been MD of the Health team since July 2023.

'The STRAT7 Health team is more than a global group of trusted experts,' says CEO Barrie Brien. 'What truly sets us apart is that fusion of deep healthcare knowledge with fresh thinking from beyond the sector and innovative approaches that help our clients spot opportunities others may miss. We bring your customers to the heart of decision-making, ensuring healthcare teams feel challenged, supported and inspired to move forward with clarity and conviction.'
