About Us

The evidence of the existing need in companies to cover certain positions with qualified external resources that offer a combination of experience, skill sets, insights, dedication and passion, in specific periods or projects in the life of companies, was the main reason why Marisa Guitart, an executive with extensive international experience, basing her success story on collaboration with internal teams in several countries on both sides of the Atlantic, created MGA Business Consulting in 1995.

We provide Strategic, Operational, Financial, and Project management advice to your company, as well as Mentoring and Coaching for management teams, hold non-executive board roles, and supply practical advice and support in other areas such as CMC, Regulatory, Intellectual Property, Legal Operations, Quality & Audit, to manage your projects and key business challenges. Since 2012, we decided to mainly devote our efforts to support Start-up`s and SME’s, especially in the Health, Life Sciences, and Industry sectors.  

We differ from some large, multi-sector consultancies in that we provide an external perspective that leverages our own previous management experience, mainly within life science companies. We are committed to ensuring that our clients receive a highly professional service and the adequate resources to meet their requirements. Our solutions work in practice – not only on paper – and our main objective is always to achieve the optimum results in the shortest time.

This has led to long lasting collaborative relationships with Pharmacia Biotech, Amersham Biosciences/GE, Pharmacia Diagnostics/Pfizer, Phadia (now Thermofisher), Bayer, Amgen, as well as SME’s and Start up’s such as Sanifit Therapeutics, Aelix Therapeutics, iMicroQ, Numat Medtech,  Airsonett, Bioservo Technologies, Turboiber, CS2, Fullspace, among many others.

Effectively implementing change in organizations, and with the least disruption, requires dedicated project management resources with the necessary leadership and technical skills like planning, focus, problem-solving and conflict resolution. In many cases, it is difficult to have internal resources that possess these skills sets or can dedicate the necessary time to them, resulting in projects that fall short of their milestones / objectives, miss deadlines, and/or require extra funding and resources.

External resources can offer a combination of knowledge, experience, commitment, and availability when companies need them. We bring impartiality, a fresh vision to the project and maximum dedication. Our experience allows us to identify key issues and propose pragmatic situation-specific solutions. We lead and work side-by-side with your teams with confidence and determination.

If your management objective is clear but you are uncertain how to achieve it, your approach is defined but you are lacking the appropriate resources, or a project is underway, but its goals are being missed, we can help you.

The MGA team comprises people who know, strongly believe in, and love what we do, demonstrating absolute commitment and a driving passion for each and every project we work on.
