"Executive Insight has a unique working environment that embraces its core values of Honesty, Freedom and Caring in everyday work. Every opinion matters and great importance is placed on ensuring that everyone feels valued as a member of the team.
Executive Insight’s diverse team has led to a company culture of mutual respect and collaboration that is encouraged at all levels. Working as part of the London team, we are constantly engaged with our colleagues in Zurich and made to feel part of one company. Great emphasis and effort is placed on creating a stimulating and positive work space.
At Executive Insight, we truly strive to deliver the best we can for our client projects. The passion, motivation and dedication of my colleagues never ceases to amaze me, and I see how this translates to some of the most creative solutions to challenging questions.
My favorite project: Developing a framework to evaluate specific strategies for national and sub-national negotiations for an oncology product that will launch in a generic environment. Leveraging individual market dynamics to identify the best solutions to protect from generic price comparison and to optimize access."
"Values and Culture" - Janica Auluck, Manager
“I am proud of the high quality content we deliver at Executive Insight. It is high quality because it is driven by true insights. And those insights are driven by knowledge and expertise within the team.
For example, we have qualified scientists working in the team who are as knowledgeable about product data as our client company medics. But we also have the business expertise to be able to decipher what this means for clients and to translate it into meaningful, impactful content.
This combination of science and business knowledge is extremely valuable for our clients who know they can rely on us to provide the high quality outputs that they need to communicate with their stakeholders.
My favorite project: Early market access assessment for a biologic therapy targeting a rare auto-immune disease. It is my favorite project because it resulted in the identification of a challenge in terms of disease burden by payers, which triggered an action plan to address the issue and ultimately to improve patients access to a new treatment (Global top 3 Pharma company)."
"Content Focus" - Philippe Coune, Partner
“The diversity of this team is incredible; we have such a wide variety of nationalities, cultures, languages and professional backgrounds. But what we all have in common is a desire to do the best job we can for our clients and a healthy respect for each other’s opinions and ways of doing things.
This is a genuinely caring team. From the moment I started (some time ago) I felt very welcome. Indeed, from the very first call I received from HR, I had the feeling that they really cared about me as a individual – it wasn’t just a question of how I would fit into the company, but how the company culture would fit around me. I also had the opportunity to engage with clients at a very early stage, which I greatly appreciated. This demonstrated that Executive Insight focuses on my development, providing trust and guidance where needed.
At Executive Insight, I have found a place that makes me happy, inspires me, and makes me feel respected for my work and the effort I put into it.
My favorite project: Conducting an in-depth assessment and identifying the value-maximizing strategy for an asset across seven different indications at various life-cycle stages. I was able to work in close collaboration with a cross-functional client team at global, regional and local level. It was exciting to support the baseline for key strategic decisions along the journey of a drug (Global top 3 pharma company).”
"Our Team" - Sarah Schellenberg, Director
“I joined Executive Insight through the internship program – Opportunities to learn directly from senior leadership, personal mentoring and an engaging environment immediately drew me in.
In consulting, people are everything. And Executive Insight takes this to heart.
There is an open line between all levels, which greatly facilitates learning. Even when I was a Junior Consultant, I had the chance to learn directly from principles and partners. This opportunity provides access to vast pharma and consulting expertise that engages, inspires and kick-starts personal development.
Mentoring and professional development are tailored to individual development needs and aspirations. My coach and I regularly sit down to check on my progress towards personal development goals. The company follows a merit-based philosophy when it comes to career progression, which makes this mentoring and development support even more valuable.
My favorite project: Developing the global functional setup and strategy for medical education capabilities across HCP and patient educational functions for a global top 10 pharma company. Contributing to standardization of strategy creation and tactic development processes allowed me to work at the forefront of the rising power in pharma – Medical Affairs."
"People Development" - Lisa Clark, Principal
