“Two things light me on fire:
improving patient experiences
and simplifying complexity”

I’ve spent nearly 2 decades learning and leading patient engagement from clinical trials through product launches and sunsetting.

These experiences reinforced two themes: navigating healthcare in the US is far too complex and we can meaningfully improve how biopharma engages patients.

This led me to form SIMPLY PATIENT in 2022.

I’m thrilled to share my expertise, my network, and my hard-earned lessons so that the patients you serve can benefit.

— Melissa Williams

I bring a unique breadth of experience leading patient engagement from clinical trial recruitment through launches and ultimately sunsetting products. That breadth enables me to see costly blindspots in launch plans and help disparate teams connect towards an aligned strategy.
