“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’s Seasoned Senior A-Team
“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.
RC Resolve comprises veterans with more than 20 years of experience advising leaders in the boardroom, newsroom, crisis room and policy environment, including:

RC Resolve’s Healthcare Advisory Council
Backing up the RC Resolve A-Team is a Healthcare Advisory Council of senior leaders with deep experience across regulatory, legal, health economics, healthcare financing and corporate affairs who will provide enterprise-level perspective and strategic decision-making.

The membership of RC Resolve’s Healthcare Advisory Council will evolve alongside the healthcare and policy landscape, ensuring access to relevant expertise as novel issues and opportunities emerge.
“As a privately held company focused exclusively on healthcare, we’ve stayed true to our commitment to invest where it matters most for our clients’ growth,” said Narayanan. “Building on our strong momentum in 2025 – including expansion of our omni-first precision marketing and media group – RC Resolve is one of several new offerings we’re bringing to market in 2026, along with continued advances in AI-driven intelligence and delivery and our expanding global footprint.”
