PagingDrCoach (PDC) was started in 2020 by Mark Monane, MD as the founding partner. His previous work as a Chief Medical Officer and senior leader in the biopharmaceutical and diagnostics company setting combined with his consulting work, medical school education, and academic research were all key to recognizing and addressing the unmet need for mentoring and professional development. Building on these themes, Dr Monane has undergone intensive training in the discipline of physician coaching, including multiple certifications from the Center of Executive Coaching as well as the International Coaching Federation. 

Our mission is to help Chief Medical Officers and physician executives to amplify their voice and effectiveness within commercial organizations.
