About Vic Simianu and Sphinx Strategies:

Coming from a background in Biotechnology and Finance with an MBA from Kelley's School of Business, Vic is an entrepreneur focused on helping specialty pharmacies make key strategic investment decisions to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Vic has achieved outstanding results throughout his career leading business decisions for a broad range of healthcare and pharmaceutical industry players, and is passionate about developing innovations within the healthcare space.

Our mission is to become the nation’s most trusted independent specialty pharmacy consulting group, creating value for our clients and staff while catalyzing clinical, operational, and financial performance for our clients.

Sphinx Strategies is a consulting group focusing on developing and maintaining highly-integrated and collaborative Specialty Pharmacy operations. While Payors and PBM’s continue to force adoption of enhanced competitive requirements, specialty pharmacies face the compounded effect of time constraints, regulatory hurdles, and constant reimbursement challenges. Sphinx Strategies targets the effectiveness and speediness of their approach by combining efforts in accreditations, operational excellence, and data analytics in each phase of their projects for clients to achieve and surpass double and triple-digit ROI’s per engagement. The Sphinx portfolio of clients range from independent pharmacies to large IDN’s, ACO’s, and publicly traded pharmacies and insurers.

Accreditations often lay the foundation for specialty pharmacies to compete in the marketplace and develop key partnerships paramount to success in the industry. Being one of the first ACHC-Certified Specialty Pharmacy Consultants as well as achieving one of the first URAC Specialty Pharmacy accreditations, Vic has ridden the exponential growth within the SP industry as accreditations have become primary differentiators for pharmacies. He intimately understands the nature and history of the accrediting bodies, the rapid evolution of the accreditation standards themselves, and the ever-expanding value behind engaging and maintaining accredited processes.
