Our Mission
To utilize our vision, contacts, and
experience to assist in the successful development and
implementation of strategic growth plans for clients involved
in Life Sciences where some form of partnering with other
companies is pivotal in maximizing the growth or value of their
enterprise. This partnering may include mergers and
acquisitions, licensing, R&D alliances and other strategic
alternatives..
Our Approach
Medical Growth Partners is unique in our
continuously updated understanding of global markets and
technologies. Our value is further enhanced by our unmatched
network of contacts and deal sources which help us to identify
opportunities as they are developing and before competition
emerges. Additionally, our unconventional ability to synthesize
diverse information, capitalize on trends and create
opportunities for clients differentiate us from investment
bankers simply shopping deals. And unlike most consulting
firms, we also guide you from planning through the successful
consummation of the transaction.
Our Leadership
While most advisory firms are primarily
financial in nature, Medical Growth Partners was founded by
Vladimir Walko, an executive with a global marketing and
technology background. This unique combination shaped his
vision of how superior value could be delivered to companies
seeking external growth for strategic purposes. Before founding
MGP, our President was a senior executive in both the U.S. and
Europe with a major NYSE company serving the Pharmaceutical,
Biotech and Medical Device industries. His career there
included positions as Senior Vice President of Corporate
Development, Vice President of Marketing and R&D, European
Vice President of Marketing and Sales, and Managing
Director-UK. His prior business experience included roles as a
marketing executive in the Dental, Biomedical Electronics and
Medical Plastics industries. Mr. Walko holds a Masters Degree
in Engineering from Stanford University and an MBA in
Marketing. As an expert in his field, he is a frequent lecturer
and columnist and has been seated on the Board of a number of
both profit and non-profit organizations.
Our Client Base
The clients we serve cover a broad spectrum
in terms of size, location, and their business focus. Most are
providing a product or service, such as packaging components,
drug delivery systems or contract manufacturing, to the major
Drug or Device companies. About half of our clients are foreign
corporations wishing direction on how to best enter the U.S.
market. Additionally, Investment Banks, Merchant Banks, Venture
Capital Groups, and Private Equity Funds look to us for deal
flow, research and advice.
