Healthcare veterans from biopharma industry, agency and advisory firms will deliver tech-enabled insight, influence and action
NEW YORK, January 09, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Real Chemistry today announced the launch of RC Resolve, a healthcare advisory practice designed to help leaders navigate the value inflection points where science, business, economics, policy and risk management intersect. RC Resolve offers a new end-to-end model of healthcare advisory informed by deep expertise and real-time insights to deliver communication strategies and execution that drive desired outcomes.
“The healthcare industry is at a critical juncture, with the pace, complexity and consequences of decision-making accelerating rapidly,” said Jennifer Gottlieb, Global President and Head of Integrated Communications at Real Chemistry. “Healthcare leaders today are seeking highly specialized partners that combine deep industry expertise with advisory capabilities to navigate the regulatory shifts, reputational risk and financial uncertainties of the operating environment that make advancing business and science more complicated, more risky and potentially more costly. RC Resolve was created to meet this need, building on Real Chemistry’s 25-year legacy as a leading data-driven healthcare partner – bringing together seasoned industry leaders who have walked in our clients’ shoes and have decades of experience to help organizations move forward with clarity, confidence and decisive action.”
RC Resolve leverages proprietary, AI-powered intelligence, including ReputAI, an advanced reputation measurement and predictive message-testing suite, and HealthGEO, which assesses how large language models influence corporate perception to drive message clarity and measurable impact. Backed by Real Chemistry’s 2,000+ experts across life sciences, marketing communications and technology, RC Resolve provides healthcare advisory counsel – combining deep sector perspective with strategic foresight – to help organizations navigate complexity, strengthen trust and stay ahead of change.
RC Resolve’s advisory practice spans critical areas that meet clients’ most pressing communication needs, including:
Policy, Public Affairs and Access
Issues, Crisis and Risk Management
Transformation and Change Management
Executive Communications
Corporate Strategy and Reputation
Financial and Transaction Communications

“RC Resolve was built specifically to bring together senior health advisors who understand the pressures from the outside in and can help leaders make confident, enterprise-level decisions with speed and precision – when it matters most,” said Sherry Pudloski, Group President of RC Resolve and Corporate Affairs at Real Chemistry. Pudloski previously served as chief communications and corporate affairs officer at Seagen, Zoetis and Guardian Life and held senior communications and strategy roles at Pfizer and Novartis.
