Paula Bellostas Muguerza is a partner and global lead for Kearney’s Healthcare and Life Sciences practice. She works with leading global biopharmaceutical companies on commercial strategy and transformation and has a passion for exploring the opportunity to improve patient outcomes at the intersection of medicine and technology.
She came to consulting after several years as an industrial engineer, which set her on the path to a career in problem solving. Despite a background in a field driven by numbers, her approach to her consulting work is completely centered on people. “Bringing empathy, compassion, and humanity to this job is not only necessary to make our teams and clients succeed, it’s what makes this often-misunderstood profession special and so rewarding.”
With her life motto of “Work hard, be kind, and good things will happen,” combined with the DNA from a family of serial entrepreneurs, Paula is always looking for new ways of making an impact––in and outside the firm. Recently, together with a passionate “village” of women and allies, she founded and leads [w]Health, a global platform of 200+ companies with the mission of advancing women’s health worldwide.
Outside of work, Paula spends her time running after her very active young daughter and trying whatever the next big thing is on the “quantified self,” with the aim of living a long, healthy, happy life.
