Tagliente

Where strategy meets execution.

The Italian word Tagliente means sharp and cutting edge — a fitting reflection of who we are.

We operate at the sharp edge — at the intersection of market and government, public and private sectors, strategy and execution, regulation and liberalisation.

Tagliente is a strategic advisory firm with a primary focus on the healthcare sector. Headquartered in the Netherlands, we operate both nationally and internationally. Our activities extend across Europe and Central Asia often on behalf of international organisations such as the World Bank and the WHO.

What sets us apart is our willingness to think and act beyond convention. We deliberately challenge established patterns. While this may initially spark debate or discomfort, it consistently leads to renewed energy, creativity and meaningful results.

We believe in the power of simplicity. Our strength lies in our ability to analyse complex issues swiftly, identify their essence, and translate insights into clear, actionable solutions. This pragmatic and results-oriented approach enables us to build understanding, alignment and momentum across organisations.

Our deep knowledge of the Dutch public sector enables us to navigate the policy and regulatory landscape with precision. We understand how ministries and institutions such as the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), the National Health Care Institute (ZIN), and the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) operate and think.

This expertise allows us to support healthcare providers, insurers and the pharmaceutical industry in defining and executing their strategic agendas.

Tagliente primarily focuses on strategic consultancy. In addition to our advisory work, we are regularly engaged for interim management roles and keynote speaking engagements.
