Sigla Sciences, Metli, Solem Global, Advient Advisors, Rapid Commercialization Partners, and Presley Global Management formally unite under a new alliance: Sumis Partners.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. & BOSTON - Californer -- Sumis Partners, Inc. announces its launch as a next-generation professional services platform designed to meet the evolving demands of the life sciences, healthcare, and public health sectors. The firm brings together a network of senior-led, specialized teams operating across geographies and disease areas, offering clients breadth, speed, and precision without the inefficiencies of traditional consulting models.

Rooted in three principles—senior-led execution, tailored engagements, and a focus on measurable outcomes—Sumis is purpose-built for biopharma and health organizations facing complex challenges and high-stakes decisions in a rapidly evolving environment. The firm offers services across the full product lifecycle, including new product planning, business development, market access, commercialization, evidence generation, health policy, and digital/AI transformation.

"Sumis is not a repackaged legacy firm or investor-led roll-up looking for growth metrics. It's a ground-up structure built by operators, advisors, and strategists who have led launches, built systems, and solved the kinds of problems our clients face every day, oriented around the success of our customers and their products," said Jennifer Hinkel, President of Sigla Sciences, a Sumis Partners Affiliate, and one of the Sumis Partners founders.

Within a lean model, Sumis deploys highly-specialized, expert-driven teams with transparent pricing, flexible project scoping, and a digital-native approach. The firm supports clients in North America, Europe, and global launch markets through integrated offerings that span strategy, analytics, medical affairs, commercial, and creative.
