Testimonials

Accelera provided excellent guidance in helping us refine our strategic plan to launch both our company and our first key product in Canada. Mike’s role was very instrumental in providing general Canadian context for our operations, and in leveraging his extensive network in the country. By providing General Management support and helping in the hiring of our first two key employees he allowed me and the company to focus on corporate matters and on getting our internal teams aligned with the Canadian expansion and key internal processes including board support. Mike commercial experience was also very instrumental in establishing the launch plan for our product. By engaging Accelera and working closely with Mike and his colleagues, we saved very significant time, raised the level of corporate comfort with expanding into a new country like Canada and overall generated significant savings. The development of the Market Access, as well as Pricing and Reimbursement strategy, although contracted to another company, involved Accelera team members (Robert and Lyndy in particular) and the strategic support brought on the regulatory side was also very professional. A very positive experience overall and a solid team with whom we built trusted relationships. I felt fortunate to have come across Mike and his team for our expansion project.
