It’s time to ditch the feeling of inauthenticity when working with a consulting partner.

We’ve heard from many people that they’ve felt stranded or frustrated with consultants in the past. Maybe you feel this way too. But it doesn’t have to be. We get it.

Extensive background in management consulting, program oversight, and project management. Key roles in building, leading, and guiding cross-functional and multi-stakeholder teams.

  • Strategy matters. Tactics matter. Words matter. But without a foundation of humility and respect, a collaboration can’t be at its best. This philosophy drives what we do and what makes us authentic partners to our clients.

ABOUT

I’m RACQUEL, a thought leader, a change agent, and a partner.

RACQUEL RACADIO, DrPH, MPH, Founder + Principal Consultant

Racquel has nearly two decades of experience in clinical research, medical affairs, and public health, focused on external partnership development, program oversight, project management, clinical development and operations, and communications. She has worked directly in R&D with and for start-ups, large clinical research organizations, global biotechnology/pharmaceutical companies, and non-profit consortia as a medical affairs leader, a clinical development professional, and as an independent consultant.

Throughout her career, Racquel’s focus has always centered on improving health outcomes and access for communities who experience disparities in healthcare access and health outcomes. She channeled her diverse experience and passion for innovation into founding and leading a research and development program at a global biotechnology company that is now fully dedicated to ensuring that clinical research is not only more inclusive but also more impactful for patients, especially those who have historically been excluded from participating in research.

Racquel is a subject matter expert and thought leader on the topics of clinical trial diversity and representation, health equity, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), serving as a speaker and panelist for national and global events, an author, contributor, and reviewer for peer-reviewed journals, and an advisor to cross-industry consortia and collaborations.

Racquel is a graduate of the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) program at the University of North Caroling at Chapel Hill Gillings School of Public Health, where her dissertation research studied how technology may reduce barriers to oncology clinical trial participation for participants from racialized and minoritized communities. With strong roots in Wisconsin, she also holds a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin and bachelor’s degrees in Biological Sciences (BS) from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and in Journalism (JBA) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
