Ellera Partners
New York

Healthcare strategy and business development advisory.

A boutique advisory firm supporting biopharmaceutical, medical device, and investor clients through the decisions that define a product or franchise.

Built on scientific depth and capital-markets fluency.

Ellera Partners was founded in 2020 to bring senior pharma operating judgment and capital-markets perspective to a single advisory practice — purpose-built for decisions that define a product or franchise.

The work draws on more than two decades of experience inside global pharmaceutical companies, top-tier financial institutions, and academic research: commercial due diligence at Allergan, mid- and large-cap biotech equity research at Citigroup, and a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Toronto.
