About Us

EXPERIENCE THAT UNDERSTANDS THE BUSINESS

ATNA Consulting Services is built on broad, hands-on experience across the pharmaceutical commercialization landscape. Our background comes from small and emerging companies to large pharmaceutical organizations and pharmaceutical service providers, giving us a practical understanding of the challenges our clients face at different stages of growth.

We work only with experienced professionals who have demonstrated success in their respective areas of expertise. Just as importantly, we look for people who know how to apply that experience in ways that are practical, efficient and appropriate for each client.

Our Founder

TROND K. WAERNESS

Founding President, ATNA Consulting Services

Trond K. Waerness has worked in pharmaceutical commercialization since 1998, with extensive experience in general commercialization and patient access. Throughout his career, he has worked with organizations ranging from small start-ups to top-ten global pharmaceutical companies, both as an employee and as a service provider.

Trond founded ATNA Consulting Services with a vision of using the experience he had gained across multiple facets of pharmaceutical commercialization to serve as a trusted resource for small and mid-sized pharmaceutical companies. Since 2017, he has founded and co-founded multiple profitable, self-funded companies, each built on the principle of delivering high-quality services and products at a fair price.

At the heart of Trond’s approach is a genuine commitment to clients and the patients they serve. He believes successful businesses are built by focusing first on quality, integrity, and care—not simply on financial results. That philosophy continues to guide ATNA today and is reflected in the company’s guiding principle: Reputation Over Revenue.

THE ATNA APPROACH

We believe our services should make business easier—not create another layer of complexity.

Whether an engagement is large or small, short-term or long-term, our approach is straightforward: understand the need, bring the right expertise to the table, and develop common-sense solutions designed to create less work, not more.

REPUTATION OVER REVENUE

Reputation Over Revenue is more than a tagline. It is a principle that guides how we do business.

Our reputation is built on the quality of our work, the experience of our people, and the trust of our clients. We intend to keep it that way.
