How It Started
A dinner at the clubhouse. A shared conviction.
In 2024, three former life sciences colleagues — Serge Shnayder, Jon Simms, and Adrian Johnston — decided to go out on their own. Between them, they had spent decades inside the companies they now advise: building commercial infrastructures, leading first product launches, navigating co-promotes, and sitting in the exact seats their clients now occupy.
It started with something simple: they liked working together, and they wanted to do great work on their own terms. eqBridge was built to be that kind of firm — small enough to stay senior and close to the work, experienced enough to move fast without getting it wrong, and honest enough to tell clients the truth, even when it’s hard.

Why eqBridge
What sets us apart isn't just what we do.
It's how we do it.
01
Senior-level attention
Who you meet is who you work with. No handoffs — the same senior experts lead every engagement, start to finish.
02
Real-world experience
We’ve sat in your seat. As former operators, our team brings decades of commercial pharma and biotech experience across functions, disease areas, and launch types.
03
Flexible engagement models
We plug in where you need us: strategic advisory, fractional leadership, or fully embedded execution. Scale us up or down as your needs change.
04
Data-driven, not opinion-driven
Every recommendation we make is grounded in what your data actually shows — the KPIs, the systems, the signals — not gut feel or guesswork.
05
Radical transparency
We lead with honesty. We’re here to build trust, not dependency. If something isn’t working, we’ll be the first to say so.
06
Bias for action
We don’t deliberate when we can execute. Our size is our speed advantage: lean enough to move fast, senior enough to move right.

How We Work
The principles we operate by.
01
Senior-level attention, always
The team you meet is the team that shows up. Every engagement is led by our founding senior team from day one to the last deliverable.
02
Embedded, not adjacent
We work inside your team, not just alongside it. That means shared Slack channels, weekly standups, and real accountability — not quarterly check-ins.
03
Bias for action
No endless strategy sessions. We move fast because we’re lean by design — and experienced enough to know what good looks like without needing to deliberate.
04
Data-driven decisions
We build the infrastructure and insights to inform confident decisions — not just slide decks. Smart KPIs, connected systems, real answers.
05
Radical transparency
We’re here to build trust, not dependency. We’ll tell you what you need to hear — and if the answer is that you don’t need us, we’ll say that too.
06
Flexible by design
Strategic advisory, fractional leadership, or fully embedded execution — we plug in where you need us, at the level you actually need.
