Created by a pharma free-thinker

Think Next was founded in 2018 by Agathe Acchiardo, to bring strategic foresight into the health and life sciences sectors. Having worked both in the pharma industry and in a trend agency, she decided to combine the best of both worlds.

Always a curious mind and an avid learner, Agathe holds a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy (BA), a Master of Research in Humanities (MARes) and an MBA from the French ESSEC business school. She has worked almost 10 years in the pharmaceutical industry in Europe, Asia, Russia, and Latin America, prior to joining a future-oriented consumer trend agency in London. There she led the development of the health practice, working with a leading pharmacy retailer, a cancer charity, and a major player in eyesight and audiology, to help them drive their innovation agenda.

After two years, Agathe identified an opportunity to combine her foresight expertise and her knowledge of the health sector. Think Next was born.

Simple

We keep simple things simple, and we break down complex things into simple chunks. We make things clear for everyone. The process to get there is not simple, but that’s our magic right there.
