ABOUT SUZANNE VYVODA
Here\'s a 15-second gut check for clinical trial tech founders: You\'ve built a brilliant product but sponsors, CROs, and sites aren\'t adopting it the way you expected. The sales conversations show initial promise but it just drags into a long cycle and meeting follow-ups. You have pilots and proof-of-concepts, but traction fizzles out. You\'re not sure if it\'s the product, the messaging, or the ICP. You know your technology works, but the market doesn\'t understand it and you\'re not sure how to fix that. You\'re losing months trying to figure out whether to sell to sponsors, CROs, or sites and every wrong guess costs you a runway.If that sounds familiar, you\'re not alone and it\'s exactly what I help you fix.I\'m Suzanne Vyvoda, Founder of Concordia BioStrategies and a Clinical Operations Strategist with 20+ years operating across every layer of the clinical trial ecosystem, from boots-on-the-ground site roles to VP-level leadership.I\'ve managed $1B budgets, led trials across 40+ countries, built clinical ops functions from scratch at multiple biotechs, and helped clinical trial tech founders get traction for their innovative products.That 360-degree view - across sites, CROs, sponsors, and clinical tech - is exactly what I bring to every engagement.Here\'s how I help you win: Product-Market Fit & ICP ClarityI help clinical trial tech founders identify exactly who their buyer is (sponsor? CRO? site?), why adoption is stalling, and what needs to change in messaging, UX, and go-to-market strategy. Pilots to Real AdoptionI turn promising proof-of-concepts into scalable traction by aligning your product with how trials actually run on the ground. Go-to-Market & PositioningI help you build a sales narrative, sharpen your pitch deck, and design a GTM strategy that actually resonates with how sponsors, CROs, and sites make buying decisions.If you\'re building in the clinical trial space and need a strategic partner who has lived every side of this ecosystem - let\'s talk.
