Sarah Burke Mullins Sarah Burke Mullins Commercial Strategy & Effectiveness
The Roundtable helped me go from feeling isolated as a new independent consultant to being part of a vibrant, supportive network. I gained immediate, practical advice to help launch my business, and a fellow member even reconnected me with a potential client I had worked with 30 years ago. The Roundtable is truly a business booster and a door opener.”
Alexandra Deschner Alexandra Deschner Fractional Investor Relations
The Life Sciences Roundtable is an excellent forum for connecting with experienced peers who genuinely want to help one another succeed. I’ve received thoughtful feedback on my credentials, valuable introductions that expanded my network, and new connections and opportunities through conversations on topics such as AI. It is a highly collaborative and worthwhile community.”
Lynn DiBonaventura Lynn DiBonaventura AI Strategy & Adoption
The Roundtable is a collaborative, transparent, and supportive community. Members connect to help one another, support our clients, and assist colleagues who are navigating career transitions. It is a community of people who are not only exceptional in their areas of expertise, but also genuinely great human beings.”
Anita Burrell Anita Burrell Commercial Strategy & Innovation
After participating in the Roundtable’s practical AI prompt workshop with Lynn, my productivity soared. I still apply the appropriate quality checks to every deliverable, but the time I spend researching across different projects has been dramatically reduced.”
Inside Membership

The Roundtable Rhythm.

The monthly operating system behind those outcomes: five moves, every month, that compound into a stronger practice.

01

Solve your hardest challenges with peers who’ve done it

Join monthly 90-minute roundtable discussions with consultants who’ve faced the same market shifts, client situations, and cross-functional pressures, and get tested perspective instead of theory.

02

Build your practice and strengthen your AI capabilities

Mid-month working sessions help members refine their offerings, strengthen business development, and explore practical ways to use AI across research, positioning, content development, client delivery, and day-to-day operations.

Recent AI programming has included an executive-level discussion with AI strategist Erik Schwartz on preparing for an AI-enabled future, followed by a hands-on workshop led by Lynn DiBonaventura on prompt development and the practical use of AI tools.

03

Get direct strategic guidance when you’re stuck

Private 1:1 discussions with the Founder & Chair give you a real sounding board for positioning, business development decisions, and navigating the broader ecosystem.

04

Build visibility through Roundtable channels

Get featured through Roundtable profiles, LinkedIn, and the Roundtable Brief, making your expertise easier for peers and companies to understand, remember, and refer.

05

Operate alongside peers who’ve run functions, not just projects

Collaborate with experienced consultants who’ve led Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Regulatory, Operations, Data, Investor Relations, and Transformation work at the executive level.
