The two co-founders of BeaconOne Healthcare Partners have worked together for the last 20 years, at three different life sciences strategy consulting firms. Most of this time was at Boston Healthcare Associates (BHA), a family-owned, boutique firm, where both Rob and Tom became long-term, trusted members of the executive team until the Company’s acquisition in 2021. During their tenure, BHA expanded its services, headcount, and geographic footprint. Though smaller in size than many of its competitors, BHA established a global reputation for high quality and excellence, particularly in MedTech.

The Founder and CEO of BHA empowered the team to innovate and think creatively when encountering growth opportunities. He would instruct his team to “go long and get open”, an old football saying essentially meaning that while playbook development may be ongoing, we can make optimal progress by putting our best talent in a position to succeed . This philosophy conveyed and sparked collaboration and trickled down throughout the organization, leading to an entrepreneurial and close-knit team culture, as all employee contributions were valued and recognized. This mindset also extended to client relationships, where novel approaches and extra steps were encouraged in client partnerships.

The success of BHA led to its eventual acquisition; however this way of conducting business remains a part of Tom and Rob’s DNA and carries over to their everyday approach to business today. BeaconOne Healthcare Partners was established to create a winning team environment and commitment to excellence built around these core drivers of client and employee satisfaction.
