Hormoz Moaven, PhD

Senior Principal, Los Angeles

Hormoz has been a part of Deallus for over 6 years. He is a strong project lead with expertise as a trusted thought partner and industry consultant across many disease areas. During his time with Deallus, Hormoz has successfully facilitated strategic and tactical engagements involving new product planning, clinical development, product launch, market landscaping, competitive benchmarking, patient support, digital technology integration, and market access. He has also supported a breadth of project scopes, including global initiatives focused on life cycle management, commercial opportunity assessment, generic entry scenario planning, biologic manufacturing, KOL/payer perspectives, companion diagnostics, and biosimilars.

What do you bring to Deallus and clients that is unique?

I have a very client-centric approach and my work ethic stems from that – I put the client first in everything I do. I also have a very curious mind – I want to find more information and don’t stop until I do.

So I tend to uncover some very interesting insights where other people might have stopped sooner, before they find that insight that changes your view on something. I’m really scientifically driven and I think it shows in this aspect of my personality. I need to get to the ‘why’ of something.

I’m motivated by two things: problem solving and helping others. So consulting is pretty perfect for me! I enjoy partnering with clients to solve their problems and help them with their needs, but I also know that the downstream impact of the work we do is helping to advance the industry and I find that really motivating.

Life outside of work

Family is really important to me. I’m lucky enough to have a beautiful wife and two amazing daughters – one is five and the other is 18 months, so as you can imagine they take up the majority of my time. Since becoming a father I haven’t focused much on my other hobbies outside work, like going to films with friends and live concerts. But I’m not complaining – they are absolutely worth it.
