In early 2024, Eli Lilly introduced LillyDirect, a direct-to-consumer platform offering telehealth services and home delivery of prescribed medicines. A few months later, Pfizer followed suit with the launch of PfizerforAll, which sells medications prescribed by telehealth clinicians. The pharmaceutical landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as manufacturers increasingly embrace direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales strategies, sidestepping intermediaries such as pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). With these changes, patients have access to pharmacists around the clock and may not have to go through traditional pharmacies or insurance protocols.

Got to speak down in Miami today with Trivest Partners and present on 2024 election scenarios, impacts to various industries, private equity sectors to track, post-election macroeconomic analysis, and some key topics to monitor—including the reemergence of a stronger Huawei and implications for US economic competitiveness in China and other Asian and African markets. Also shared some thoughts on the BRICS meeting in Russia last week and some efforts to shift trade away from dollar denominated assets. Thank you Trivest for hosting me. Ping me if you are a PE fund or Ibank and would like to discuss ways Cicero can be helpful. #Cicero #MGT #TrivestPartners #2024elections.

In the race for market dominance, it’s not always the fastest or the flashiest that come out on top. Often, it’s the company that understands its playing field better than anyone else—the one that doesn’t just react to trends but predicts them. Industry analysis, when done right, isn’t just about knowing your competition; it’s about outsmarting them before they even know what hit them. For businesses today, navigating an industry isn’t about surviving the storm—it’s about controlling the weather. And that kind of foresight comes from mastering competitive analysis.

Recently, our partner and healthcare lead, Douglas Hervey, was invited to deliver a keynote address at Cimarron Healthcare Capital’s annual investor conference in the stunning backdrop of Island Park, just outside Yellowstone. Douglas spoke on a critical topic – the 2024 elections and their implications for healthcare – an area that is becoming more pivotal by the day. His insights will help shape how investors and industry leaders navigate the evolving healthcare landscape. We’re incredibly proud to have Douglas representing us at such a high-profile event, and we look forward to the dynamic conversation his address will inspire! #Healthcare #2024Elections #HealthcareCapital #ThoughtLeadership #Cicero
