Ongoing advisoryI'm Alain RICO — an independent consultant working in the field of omics for almost 30 years. Over 15 years ago, I specialised in growing businesses via the expansion of portfolio, working with founders and leadership teams, across both startups and established companies, in reproductive health and beyond.
My services span ideation, development of analysis solutions, managing relationship with key opinion leaders, and promoting the solutions in the field.
What I've learned is that adopting a "why not" attitude really does work. I bring an outside eye , my scientific background, and a genuine curiosity to every engagement, asking the questions that are too easy to skip when you're inside the work.
Tell me a little about what you're working through. No pressure, no pitch — just a friendly first chat to see if we're a good fit.
The easiest way to get started is to send me a message or connect on LinkedIn. I typically respond within one business day, and we can set up a 30-minute call from there.
Being based in Paris, France, it makes it easy to connect to the world when attending live meeting and conferences is required.
I'll come back to you within one working day typically. Our first conversation is always informal — just a chance to talk through who you are and how I can help. No commitment needed.
If a mutual contact sent you, do mention it — it helps me understand the context before we speak. And if you'd like to share my details with someone, I'm always grateful for the introduction.
