In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Claudia Adreani, the founder and leading consultant at Belly Slide Consulting. Claudia shares her journey from a long and successful career in large corporate pharma to embracing the entrepreneurial spirit that always called to her. She opens up about the refreshing, albeit challenging, transition to being her own boss and the mission behind Belly Slide: to help life science startups and medium-sized companies cut through complexity and build powerful, simple, and effective brand and marketing strategies from the ground up.

Claudia delves into the specific challenges of consulting in a heavily regulated industry, the importance of building client capabilities for long-term success, and her ambitious plans for growth. She candidly discusses the hurdles of business development, her strategy of building a nimble team of associates, and her vision to double the business in the coming year. This is an insightful conversation about building a business on your own terms, the value of strategic marketing, and the journey from a corporate career to founding a future-focused consultancy.
