NASHVILLE  - Dr. Lisa Piercey, former Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Health and health system executive, announced the launch of Tristela Strategies, LLC, a boutique consulting firm dedicated to advising healthcare entrepreneurs and investors on market strategy, public policy, and growth opportunities. 

Based in Nashville, Tristela’s name is derived from a translation of “three stars,” referencing the firm’s three areas of expertise – clinical, operational, and policy – and Tennessee’s iconic symbol of unity across the state’s three grand divisions.

“I am thrilled to launch Tristela Strategies to support meaningful change and innovation in the healthcare industry,” Piercey said. “Tennessee is renowned for its robust healthcare infrastructure and entrepreneurial spirit, so leveraging my private and public sector experience to help early and growth-stage companies build momentum is especially fulfilling.”

Early client engagements for the firm include scaling growth in a digital behavioral health company, exploring additional use cases for a patient engagement platform, and market positioning of a new life sciences product. To learn more about Tristela Strategies, visit www.tristela.com.
