# Ankor Consultants Ltd
Ankor Consultants is a London-based leadership and change consulting firm specialising in executive coaching and strategic business advisory for the life sciences sector. The firm is led by two highly experienced directors, Corrine and Arne Ferstad, who together bring over four decades of senior-level consulting expertise across three continents.
The firm primarily serves C-suite executives, board members, and pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostic companies ranging from ambitious startups to Fortune 100 organisations. Their client base spans life sciences, pharma, biopharma, medical products, and related industries requiring sophisticated commercial and leadership guidance.
Corrine specialises in executive coaching and leadership development, leveraging behavioural models, psychometric assessments, and 360-degree feedback tools to enhance personal impact, influencing capabilities, and conflict resolution. Her interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Communication and Psychology enables her to navigate complex organisational dynamics and cross-cultural team environments effectively.
Arne focuses on mergers and acquisitions, business development, and commercialisation strategy—critical areas for life sciences companies navigating competitive markets. His experience as a non-executive board member and interim manager provides pragmatic, boardroom-level perspective.
What distinguishes Ankor is their deep sector specialisation combined with genuine global exposure. Rather than generalist consultants, they understand the unique pressures, regulatory environments, and commercial challenges facing life sciences organisations. Their integrated approach—blending leadership transformation with strategic business advisory—ensures consulting recommendations account for both human and market factors.
