Who We Are

Our Story

How three former life sciences colleagues decided to build the firm they always wished existed.

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 — experienced enough to move fast without getting it wrong, and honest enough to tell clients the truth, even when it’s hard.

The Name

eq isn't just a prefix.

eq stands for emotional quotient — the belief that the best commercial outcomes in life sciences come from people who are as self-aware as they are experienced.

Bridge is what that makes possible: closing the gap between strategy and execution, between a consulting firm and a client team, between where a company is and where it needs to go.

We built eqBridge around that belief — and we hire, work, and engage accordingly.

Collaborative

We work as part of your team, not alongside it. Your goals are our goals — full stop.

Honest

We lead with transparency. If something isn’t working, we’ll be the first to say so — even when it’s uncomfortable.

Low-ego

We’re here to make your work better, not to make ourselves look good. The best outcome is one where you don’t need us anymore.

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.

The team you meet is the team you get.
