Maternal & Infant Health Consulting

What Maternal & Infant Health Consulting does

Maternal & Infant Health Consulting (M&IHC) is a woman-owned social impact professional services firm founded in January 2014 by Taylor M. Snyder, MPH, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The firm delivers research, communications, strategic planning, facilitation, and training services to global health organizations, with a portfolio spanning five content verticals: reproductive rights and family planning, nutrition and micronutrients, digital health, immunizations and community health, and breastfeeding and donor human milk. Operationally, M&IHC runs a Hub of Global Health Independent Contractors — a curated network of multilingual consultants (English, Spanish, French, Hausa, Urdu, Portuguese) matched to projects by skill set — enabling rapid team formation across 50+ countries. The core team comprises 6 employees, with delivery scaled via the variable-cost Hub model.

The firm's business model is project-based professional services revenue, with multi-year contracts and custom-quoted engagements tied to scope. There is no publicly disclosed pricing, no standard rate card, and no platform or product revenue; engagement is direct, relationship-driven, and supported by referrals, LinkedIn outreach, and the firm's website. The client base is concentrated in international development NGOs (PATH, PSI, PRB, EGPAF, eHealth Africa, Nutrition International, Micronutrient Forum, Girl Effect, Malaria Consortium, Savannas Forever Tanzania) and US government health agencies (FDA Center for Tobacco Products). M&IHC has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public listing; the firm is privately held by its founder, who also serves as Director.

Broad incumbents

• Abt Global: Large US-based research and consulting firm with a substantial global-health practice covering MCH, nutrition, and health systems strengthening for USAID and Gates. Competes for the same donor RFPs as M&IHC but operates at substantially greater scale with broader sector coverage.
• RTI International: Nonprofit research institute with a global-health division delivering MCH, nutrition, and health-systems research and evaluation for US and multilateral donors. Comparable research/evaluation capability and client base to M&IHC at significantly larger scale.
• FHI 360: International NGO providing research, program implementation, and technical assistance across family planning, maternal/child health, and nutrition. Highly comparable content focus to M&IHC; larger, but competes for overlapping contracts and consultant talent.
• Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI): Global health organization working across reproductive, maternal, and child health with governments and NGOs in low- and middle-income countries. Overlaps with M&IHC in MCH/family-planning focus and works with many of the same funder ecosystems, though at far greater scale.

Direct peers

• Social Impact (SI): International development consulting firm delivering M&E, research, and program support to USAID and other donors, including in MCH and family planning. Similar boutique-to-mid-market profile and project-based delivery model to M&IHC.
• JSI Research & Training Institute: International public-health consulting and research organization serving USAID, Gates, and global health NGOs across reproductive health, nutrition, and digital health. Closest direct peer in terms of service mix (research, training, communications) and client overlap with M&IHC's NGO roster.
• Palladium: Global development consulting firm delivering research, strategy, and program implementation across health, including MCH and family planning, for bilateral/multilateral donors. Highly comparable business model (project-based professional services with global field teams) to M&IHC, but at materially larger scale.
• Dalberg Global Development Advisors: Strategy consulting firm focused exclusively on global development and social impact, including global health, often engaged by foundations and multilaterals. Closely comparable consulting-model peer to M&IHC, though with broader sector coverage and larger team.
• Banyan Global: Woman-owned international development consulting firm delivering research, M&E, and technical assistance in global health, gender, and economic empowerment. Highly comparable size, ownership profile, and donor-funded services model to M&IHC.

Others

• Pathfinder International: Global nonprofit focused on sexual/reproductive health, contraception, and MCH programs with extensive country presence in Africa and Asia. Adjacent rather than directly competing — Pathfinder is a likely client and partner ecosystem member for M&IHC rather than a competing consultant.
