Deep Science
Roots
Founded by a scientist for other data, evidence, logic driven leaders. We truly understand what innovation - driven teams in sectors like biotech and life sciences need to thrive.
Because performance does not come from paperwork or endless meeting - it comes from people who want to work together.
Joanna Kaniewska spent 2019 leading a 12-person, EU-funded multi-consortia, multi-million projects in the capital of Europe, Brussels. Her favorite meetings weren’t status updates, they were the one-to-ones where she coached and mentored her people to succeed. When COVID hit, she rebuilt every ritual online, launching human-centered performance reviews and helped the team to create a common internal language for better communication. Colleagues across Europe soon asked, “Can you do this for us too?”
That question birthed T Shaped.
The letter T captures our philosophy: a deep vertical bar—specialized expertise—balanced by a broad horizontal bar—cross-disciplinary skills like collaboration, problem-solving and strategy. Most organizations never leverage both bars because day-to-day fires, looped meetings and unstructured decisions drain their focus. That’s where we come in.
