The Work
Most life sciences companies reach a point where the pace of hiring outstrips the infrastructure to support it. Agencies fill the gap. Offers become inconsistent. High-stakes roles sit open for 90 days. The board starts asking questions.

DCG Advisory Group was built for that exact moment — to step in at the executive level, build what's missing, and make the people function match the ambition of the science.

What We Build

View All Engagements →
01
TA Function Architecture
From zero to a fully operational talent acquisition function — strategy, process, governance, and team structure built to scale.
02
Strategic Advisory Retainer
Embedded executive-level TA and HR leadership, without adding a VP to your headcount. Ongoing, flexible, and built around your inflection points.
03
Workforce Planning
Board-ready 12-month headcount plans, role prioritization, and budget modeling — aligned to your fundraise, approval milestone, or commercial launch.

"You're not looking for a slide deck. You're looking for someone who has sat in your seat, built what you need to build, and can own it at the executive level — without hand-holding."

— DCG Advisory Group

You're ready when one of these is true.

DCG engagements are designed for companies at a specific kind of inflection point.

— You just closed a Series A or B and headcount is about to double
— FDA approval is on the horizon and commercial hiring needs to start now
— You've been agency-dependent and the spend is out of control
— A new CEO, COO, or board member wants to professionalize operations
— You just went through an acquisition and two orgs need to become one
— The founder is still personally approving every hire and it's a bottleneck

Why DCG

Discernment is the executive superpower most companies can't hire for.

I've done this work at every level — from the ground up. That full-stack operator experience, combined with analytical precision, is what makes DCG different from any other advisory relationship you've had.

Ground-up operator, not a top-down advisor.

I've built from zero. Every level, every function, every inflection point. That's what makes the judgment real.

Analytical precision that reads what others miss.

I diagnose the actual problem — which is often different from the presenting one. You get clarity, not validation.

I build foundations that outlast me.

Growth, stability, sustainability. The goal is always to hand you something that runs — with or without DCG.
