About Duane Schulthess

I run a global health economic and strategy consultancy that works closely with many regulators, companies, and researchers at the intersection of biopharma innovation, technology, and data. I’m driven by a desire to make sense of how this complex mix impacts the ability to transform and improve healthcare for everyone. My experience includes: • Built a successful global healthcare consultancy from the ground up• Produced, marketed and hosted the Vital Health Podcast, ranked in the top 50 for healthcare • Analyzed the economic impacts of proposed US & EU legislation on the innovation ecosystem• Engaged in DC hill briefings with legislative staffs and the Congressional Budget Office• Published numerous high impact peer review articlesMy greatest satisfaction comes when working in collaboration with organizations to help them find solutions to seemingly intractable problems.and yes, I was also formerly a professional musician.
