Strategic Scientific & Commercial Consulting for Life Sciences Leaders 

Our Capabilities

Backed by more than 20 years of experience  

We provide strategic scientific and commercial consulting to life sciences companies with a focus on laboratory services, diagnostics, translational platforms, and therapeutics.

 

Our work helps leadership teams sharpen strategic focus, accelerate commercialization, strengthen licensing and strategic alliances, increase market share, improve margins, and build exit-ready enterprise value.

Unlock High-Impact Growth, Market Share and Enterprise Value

At KonKai, I work selectively with life sciences companies and CROs to transform complex science into commercially successful and strategically positioned platforms. I focus on laboratory service, diagnostics translational research, and therapeutics, helping leadership team create high-impact partnerships, licensing opportunities, and exit-ready strategies. 

​

1

Strategic Partnerships

I help life sciences companies identify, evaluate, and structure high-impact partnerships that drive both scientific and commercial success. This involves assessing potential collaborators for strategic fit and market opportunity, designing deal structures that balance risk and value, and aligning partnerships with corporate goals to accelerate adoption, strengthen competitive positioning, and improve margins. My approach transforms partnerships from transactional arrangements into strategic levers that expand markets, unlock licensing opportunities, and maximize overall organizational impact.

2

Licensing Strategy

I work with life sciences companies evaluate intellectual property and translational science to uncover high-value licensing opportunities that accelerate revenue and enterprise growth. This includes analyzing IP assets, market potential, and partner fit, and aligning agreements with strategic and commercial objectives.  My approach turns complex intellectual property into strategic levers, creating measurable business impact and optionality for future partnerships, commercialization, or potential acquisition.

​

3

Commercialization 

I work with leadership teams to align scientific innovation with commercial strategy, ensuring products and platforms reach their full market potential. This includes identifying adoption barriers, optimizing pricing and positioning, and integrating strategic partnerships to accelerate growth.  My approach ensures that commercialization is a strategic driver, turning innovative technology into scalable, profitable, and sustainable offerings that create measurable impact across the organization.
