A boutique consultancy for the complex, regulated projects that decide whether organizations move forward in Romania and Central Europe.

Who we are
Some work cannot be templated. When regulators, institutions and international partners all have to move together, a report is not enough. Someone has to carry the project through to the end. That is the work we take on.
Services
Seven disciplines, one point of coordination.
Numbers that can carry a decision.
We build integrated models that link capacity, demand, revenue, staffing and budget, so leadership can see which assumptions really drive the result, and test them before committing.
Explore this serviceFrom filing to final approval.
We manage regulatory processes across Romanian and EU frameworks, including medical device compliance, CE conformity, ANMDMR filings, customs and accreditation files. Where the rules leave open questions, we research them and frame them clearly for the right specialists.
Explore this serviceThe hospital, designed on paper first.
We help new and growing providers define their medical services, capacity by specialty, staffing against national norms and the organizational structure that holds it together.
Explore this serviceClarity before commitment.
We give organizations entering Romania and Central Europe the market evidence, regulatory landscape and stakeholder knowledge they need to decide with confidence rather than assumption.
Explore this serviceOne point of coordination.
We keep suppliers, regulators, advisers and local operators aligned across countries and time zones, with regular reporting, clear next steps and a document trail everyone can rely on. We have coordinated projects with stakeholders across Romania, the United States and China.
Explore this serviceThe right message, to the right people, at the right moment.
We support complex relationships with government bodies, international partners, donors and regulators, so that communication serves the strategy instead of working against it.

Preparing a new private hospital in Romania
Read the projectA new hospital is many projects at once. We act as the single point of coordination between the international team, the local partners and their advisers, and we carry the planning from the medical services through to the financial case.
Our capacity model showed that the real limit was beds, not operating theatres.
