Kardam Consulting
Specialized advisory for the business of making medicine, and a major sponsor of Vantage Point.
Vantage Point’s partners share a conviction: clear thinking is a public good. Kardam Consulting applies that conviction to one of the most consequential, complex industries there is: the business of making medicine.
Kardam Consulting, LLC is a specialized advisory firm focused on pharmaceutical manufacturing, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and brand and generic pharmaceuticals and portfolios. Its principal and founder, George Svokos, brings more than 35 years of global pharmaceutical experience in leadership, operations, sales and marketing, portfolio, product selection, and product strategy, seasoned in turnaround situations, acquisitions, due diligence, and international board work. Since 2017 the firm has put that judgment to work for global and multinational pharmaceutical companies.
The medicine on a pharmacy shelf is the visible end of ten thousand quiet decisions about chemistry, capacity, cost, and risk. Kardam’s practice lives where those decisions get made: which products to develop, which portfolios to keep, how a supply chain should run, what a factory should cost. And alongside the strategy work sits a line that would make Eli smile: mentoring pharmaceutical executives and managers. Teaching, by another name.
We are proud to have Kardam Consulting behind Vantage Point, and glad to point you toward them.
What they do
Eight services, three fronts. Hands-on and intensive, in the firm’s own words.
Deciding what to make
- Strategic analysis

Which products, which markets, which bets: the choices that set a drugmaker’s course.
Making it well, for less
- Supply chain optimization
- Procurement strategies, direct & indirect
- Manufacturing cost reduction
The unglamorous discipline that decides whether good medicine is also affordable medicine.
Building the bench
- Mentoring pharma executives & managers
- Solving organizational issues
Because strategy is executed by people, and people can be taught.
Put 35 years of pharma judgment on your side.
If your company makes medicine, or means to, Kardam Consulting is the counsel you call before the big decisions, not after them.
