What Directorie does

Directorie is a private, founder-led professional services agency headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri, that provides embedded commercial, marketing, and market access expertise to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies. The firm was founded by CEO Erika Sinner to address gaps in institutional knowledge created by industry mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, where clients had historically relied on fragmented networks of agencies with inconsistent healthcare expertise. Directorie serves life sciences organizations across the full product lifecycle through four engagement stages: early-stage support, launch preparation, in-line brand capacity augmentation, and tenured brand management.

The company's core offering is organized around eight service lines: strategic thought partnership (brand planning, insight reporting, board readiness, lifecycle management), company and product brand support (promotional materials, marketing initiatives, agency partner selection), in-house creative services, operational services (MLR coordination, print production, process development, onboarding), KOL engagement, consumer engagement, event planning and logistics, and patient services (engagement, communications, hub planning and operations). Directorie does not operate a proprietary technology platform; instead, it delivers value through its leadership team, which collectively brings 100+ years of pharma and biotech experience and has led 68+ product launches across multiple disease states including rare and ultra-rare conditions.

Directorie generates revenue through project-based and retainer professional services engagements sold via direct sales to enterprise life sciences organizations. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to engagement scope, with the firm positioning itself as an integrated embedded partner rather than a transactional vendor. The firm has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list in both 2024 and 2025 (#1146 in 2025), and CEO Erika Sinner was named to the 2026 Inc. Female Founders 500 list. The company operates with 11-50 employees and a remote-first working model, with no disclosed institutional funding or parent company.
