About SciVida
SciVida is a boutique management consulting firm that focuses exclusively on life sciences. The company burst onto the scene in 2021 and since has achieved rapid success within the life sciences consulting space. Headquartered in Research Triangle Park, N.C., the firm is a purpose-driven organization that provides consulting services across commercial strategy, pricing and market access strategy, and corporate and business development. The purpose that drives SciVida operations, from the work the firm does to the people it hires, is patient-centric: “to help bring science to life so that patients get access to life-saving therapies and the world is a healthier place.” Through its corporate giving program, SciVida StriVe, the firm donates 5 percent of annual profits to three patient-focused charities, including National Organization for Rare Disorders, National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, and Patient Advocate Foundation.
The SciVida team is U.S.-based, but a growing portion of its work with clients spans multiple countries around the world. SciVida’s core offerings are tailored to helping life sciences companies of all sizes keep up with the rapidly evolving healthcare marketplace. From global pharmaceutical manufacturers to early-stage biotech organizations, clients include large, mid-cap, and emerging companies.
The firm is led by consulting veterans and co-founders Kevin Barnett and Jeff Liepman. With over 40 years of combined life sciences consulting experience and backgrounds anchored in building and scaling life sciences consultancies, they have launched the firm with a holistic approach that is represented in the firm’s promise to clients that SciVida team members “don’t just know the business of science, we understand the science itself.”
