Management healthcare consultancy opens new offices in New York and London

The expansion will enable Putnam Associates to access the European market and to offer more localised support to its clients.

Headquartered in Boston with an office in San Francisco, Putnam employs more than 130 people and offers specialist consultancy services across the product life cycle to life science organisations with particular strengths in product commercialisation, market access strategy, and medical and scientific affairs.

The consultancy is opening new offices in Chiswick, London and in Midtown Manhattan, New York as part of its strategy to increase its global footprint and offer more localised support to its clients.

Putnam will also tap into the talent pools of both cities and plans to recruit experienced associates and management consultants across a number of roles in both locations.

Commenting on the new offices, Remco op den Kelder, CEO said: “Being part of UDG has created a number of opportunities for Putnam to leverage the infrastructure and resources of a global leader in life science services in a number of key regions.

“Our new office in London is a huge opportunity for us to access the European market.”

Putnam significantly strengthened the breadth of services offered by Ashfield’s Advisory division when it was acquired in early 2019. The consultancy added capabilities and scale to the existing advisory pillar, in particular in the global pricing, value and access area.

Op den Kelder continued: “Our new locations will also enable us to add to our talented teams as we look to recruit at every level, from senior leaders and experienced management consultants to graduates looking to start a career in the sector.

“The life sciences is an exciting industry to be a part of, the work we do is impactful and we work in a very dynamic environment so we’re always searching for top performers to join us.”
