Externally, Tad was a member of the World Economic Forum’s CRO community and World 50.

Prior to becoming CRO, Tad engaged with biopharmaceutical clients driving change efforts focused on organizational design, integration and transformation. These programs involved all aspects of the organization including R&D and Sales & Marketing, among other enabling functions.

He also started the firm’s New Jersey office and served as the Office Leader for five years.

In his 18 years of client service at BCG, much of Tad's work has focused on biopharmaceutical change efforts, especially organizational design, integration, and transformation.
