Global marketing and communications firm FINN Partners has added Medical & Health Consulting (MHC), a highly regarded Paris-based independent health and biopharma consultancy, to its international network, combining it with its Paris office. MHC represents several leading global biopharma, health technology, and medical device companies, as well as professional medical associations. Marie-Hélène Coste, MHC founding director, will serve as a senior partner, Health, FINN, Europe.
Known for its work in patient advocacy, brand support and disease awareness, MHC implements global campaigns for its clients. Together with Paris-based Health Senior Partner, Mina Volovitch, Marie-Hélène Coste will grow FINN Health in Europe and continue to deliver the excellent service her clients have valued. Marie-Hélène will report to Chantal Bowman-Boyles, managing partner, FINN, Europe, and Gil Bashe, managing partner, FINN Global Health.
Peter Finn, founding partner of FINN said, "Our Health Practice has become one of the largest independent groups in the world and we have been seeking to add key talent in Europe. Marie-Hélène Coste and MHC are renowned sector leaders and their work extends beyond France and Europe. Her longstanding connection with our existing Health Practice leadership in Paris and proven collaborative spirit enable us to immediately put their joint experience and skills to best use to benefit clients. Bringing the MHC team on board is the perfect complement to our recent acquisition of Lazar Partners and other talent additions in our health hubs."
Marie-Hélène Coste stated, "The health industry – companies working to develop new medicines for unmet patient needs, raising awareness of disease symptoms, and advocating for policies that make health accessible – is mission centered. A culture of collaboration between ourselves and with our clients is essential to our shared success. I have known Mina for years and when I met Chantal, Gil and Peter, it became clear that we shared the same vision to make a difference in the world through our clients. They are building an agency community focused on helping people live longer and healthier lives. It's exciting to be part of that vital journey."
