Ahonavi - R&D Efficiency & Biotech Operations Consulting

Science gets you in the room. Operations keep you there

We work with organizations where science and operations intersect, by identifying, quantifying, and resolving friction that erodes time, capital, and program velocity

Do you relate to these?

• Our best scientists spend more time managing process than doing science.
• Timelines slip repeatedly, and nobody knows why.
• We have the data and still can't make a business decision fast.
• The same rework happens quarter after quarter.
• We keep hiring and buying equipment, but programs aren't moving faster.
• Every compliance review turns into a scramble.
• We're always optimizing, but never launching the product.

The gap between what your science is capable of and what it actually delivers is almost always bigger, costlier, and more fixable than leadership realizes.Over 20 years across six organizations spanning industrial manufacturing, translational science, and commercial product launch, I’ve collaborated directly with leading biotech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as research teams at the US FDA, and the NIH. I founded Ahonavi to solve a persistent pattern: brilliant science quietly losing time, yield, and capital to unmeasured operational friction.When you partner with Ahonavi, you work directly with me, never a junior analyst or an account manager. Every operational diagnostic and workflow assessment is built on two decades of hands-on execution on the floor and in the lab.Ready to close the gap between scientific capability and execution?
