    What We Do

    The Tom Main Health Innovation Mentorship is an annual mentoring program that provides health industry entrepreneurs with business and leadership guidance as they seek to drive impact. The Mentorship was created in honor of its namesake, Tom Main. Among his many professional roles, including Founder and Leader of the Oliver Wyman Health Innovation Center, Tom was a passionate mentor — to entrepreneurs leading new startups, well-established executives, and anyone in between. The Mentorship models Tom’s innate character and desire to support those who sought to transform the health industry in pursuit of better health and optimal value. Through the Mentorship, we aspire to carry on Tom’s mission to support those with vision, passion, and determination in transforming the health industry.


    How It Works

    Nomination
    We kick off the selection process by asking our nominating committee to nominate a mission-oriented CEO of a high-potential start-up.
    Finalists
    We ask each nominee to share their story and ambitions for impact. After extensive review, discussion, and deliberation, our internal selection committee determines three finalists who move onto the final Pitch Day.
    Pitch Day
    On Pitch Day, a panel of judges comprised of Oliver Wyman Partners and OWHIC Community members come together to declare a winner.
    Mentors
    A dedicated duo of senior mentors from our Health and Life Sciences practice supports the mentee by addressing business challenges, as well as navigating the dynamics of effective leadership.
