From Foresight to Decision

1836 & Co.

1836 & Co. helps companies make smarter strategic decisions by turning complex trends into actionable insights. We combine data, foresight, and market intelligence to help organizations navigate change, uncover overlooked opportunities, and lead with confidence.

 

Whether it’s emerging technologies, shifting policies, or evolving consumer demands, we provide the clarity and strategy leaders need to stay ahead.

In an era of market volatility, regulatory shifts, and rising consumer expectations, executives don’t need more information — they need strategic clarity.

My work is different

"Most industry reports and advisory services are created by generalists or analysts who lack real-world experience." 

With over two decades of experience in health policy, technology, and consumer trends, I provide a 360-degree view of the healthcare landscape. I work directly with patients, companies, investors, and policymakers to ensure my reports and advisory projects reflect what’s happening now and what’s coming next. It’s not just about what’s trending today—it’s about where the industry is headed and how we can get ahead of the curve.
