Status Mentis | AI Implementation Consulting for Pharma Insights Teams

The Challenge

Sound familiar?

Your AI pilot got stuck in governance review

IT says the data infrastructure isn't ready

Leadership wants ROI proof before investing more

The vendor demos looked great but implementation stalled

Your team doesn't know how to actually use the output

I've been on both sides — leading AI initiatives inside pharma and building AI applications from scratch. Most pilots fail for predictable reasons.

Services

How I help

AI Strategy for Insights Teams

Assess current capabilities and gaps. Identify high-value, low-risk starting points. Build the business case that gets funded.

Pilot-to-Production Guidance

Navigate governance and compliance requirements. Coordinate across IT, legal, and business stakeholders. Design workflows researchers will actually use.

Hands-On Implementation Support

AI system design and prompt architecture for market research applications — from system message engineering to multi-model orchestration. Vendor evaluation and selection. Training and change management.

Expertise

Why work with me

Domain Depth

29 years in pharmaceutical market research — Regeneron, Amgen, Pfizer. I speak your language and understand your constraints.

Enterprise Reality

Led AI initiatives inside a large pharma company. I know why pilots stall at governance, and how to prevent it.

I Actually Build

Recently built a production AI application from scratch — dual-platform (web + mobile), multi-model orchestration, dynamic prompt systems, and verification architecture. Built it myself, not managed it. That's the difference.

Experience

The Path Here

Nearly three decades in pharmaceutical market research. I've led insights for billion-dollar portfolios, supported FDA priority reviews for first-in-class therapies, and built the research frameworks that shaped launch strategies — including one an external agency called "the most comprehensive and most crisp" they'd ever seen.

Before corporate, I ran my own consultancy for fourteen years. Fortune 500 pharma clients. 95% retention. 15x ROI. The kind of relationships where you become the first call when something complex needs solving.

Earlier: contributed to launches that hit blockbuster status in year one. Built market research capabilities from scratch in new markets. Co-founded a tech startup and made the Forbes Top 50 list.

I've also pushed enterprise AI initiatives through governance, legal, and IT — and learned exactly where they stall. Then I built something myself: a production AI application, web and mobile, multi-model orchestration, verification systems. Months of work, shipped independently. That's where the perspective comes from.
