What clients say

Tatyana has a unique ability to extract and simplify complex, specialized knowledge into compelling, straightforward messaging centered around the value we deliver. Her deep understanding of healthcare and finance, coupled with her strategic approach, has been invaluable in helping us prepare for our spin-off and navigate fundraising. Her commitment to understanding the nuances of our challenges and providing actionable solutions has significantly improved our chances of market success.
Jasper Mecklenburg
CEO, dotbase
Tatyana has helped me enhance our fundraising storyline and deepen our engagement with potential investors. Her capacity to analyse, evaluate and engage in a very short time, considering that she has many such activities with entirely different companies, is awe-inspiring; her brain is something, and her responsiveness is out of this world. She is the perfect fit for us because of her remarkable attention to detail and ability to build the decisions on them. I can tell she doesn’t just listen because she is polite – she truly cares about both the broader landscape and the specific problem, and her recommendations reflect that care. This quality is so rare, and it makes all the difference. The term "advisor" feels too simple to capture the full scope of Tatyana’s impact. She provides not just advice but also invaluable help, support, coaching, mentorship, and a fresh perspective from a different angle. I'm certain I'll rely on her guidance at every major "first-time" crossroad.

CEO, Exolitus

Tatyana built a validated scalable cloud-based platform and the support organisation to go with it and rolled it out for us across multiple European markets successfully. She brought clarity and focus from the start. Her ability to define clear objectives, align stakeholders, and execute effectively made all the difference. Her mix of strategic thinking and hands-on execution stood out throughout this multi-year endeavour. She doesn’t just strategize and plan – she also delivers, through a mix of her personal commitment and ability to lead multiple teams and stakeholders effectively.

About me

Many companies in medtech, life sciences, and digital health have ambitious ideas for growth and innovation, yet lack the bandwidth or execution leadership to turn them into reality.

Hello, I am Tatyana Staneva. I founded Clarity for Action in 2024 to step into exactly that gap, drawing on 25 years of senior leadership experience from global organisations including GSK, Merck, Siemens, and Roland Berger to help companies turn ambitious visions into market reality.

I have a deep curiosity about science and technology and have spent most of my career working alongside and advising CEOs and senior leadership teams across both global multinationals and smaller or younger companies. That experience of operating at C-level means I understand the pressures you face and speak your language from day one.

Today, I specialise in the small- and mid-market segment, where my services are most impactful. As a pragmatic partner, I work side-by-side with your team to turn ambitious ideas into working solutions, combining strategic insight, practical design, and hands-on delivery all the way to market readiness.

In life and in business, I'm driven by curiosity and by the satisfaction of seeing ideas take shape, while helping the people behind them bring those ideas to life and create meaningful impact. People I work with often tell me they value not only my strategic clarity, but also the calm, steady energy I bring when things feel complex or uncertain.

Clients count on me especially in high-stakes, multidimensional challenges, where I am most effective in identifying and executing the strategies that deliver lasting results.

Whether you are modernising legacy systems, scaling revenue, or bringing new offerings to market, I help you move from strategy to execution with clarity and confidence – without disrupting the strengths that made your business successful in the first place.
