Circa Healthcare, a strategic marketing and communications agency focused on animal business and veterinary medicine, is proudly announcing the formation of its Advisory Board. The board is composed of experienced leaders from across veterinary medicine, animal health, business and innovation, and will advise Circa as it continues to expand its strategic offerings and client partnerships.
The Advisory Board will provide guidance on industry trends, growth strategy, and emerging opportunities shaping the animal business and pet care landscape.
“As the industry evolves, it’s important for us to remain grounded in real‑world experience and diverse perspectives,” said Karin Jager, President, Circa Healthcare. “This group brings deep operational knowledge and strategic insight that will help us strengthen our work and optimize support for our clients.”
Advisory Board members include:
Dr. Peter Beaumont, MBA, CVPM, BVM&S, MRCVS, an experienced executive, entrepreneur, and investor with more than four decades in veterinary medicine, business operations, and governance. Dr. Beaumont has founded, operated, and sold multiple businesses and currently chairs two committees for Trupanion. He also serves on several advisory boards within animal health and life sciences.
“I have been continually impressed at the way Circa has become a thought-leader, prominent change-advocate, and excelled at the implementation of ‘what they do’, which is to present powerful marketing, advertising and assimilable educational content,” said Dr. Beaumont.
Bob Cooper, an entrepreneur and strategic advisor with a background in innovation, marketing, and business transformation. Cooper has worked with growth‑stage and established organizations across multiple industries, advising on strategy, culture, and operational alignment.
“I have worked with many agencies and consulting firms, and Circa’s focused knowledge of animal health is unique,” Cooper said. “Their combination of industry insight, scientific understanding, and storytelling sets them apart.”
Dr. David Haworth, DVM, PhD, a C‑suite executive and advisor with leadership experience across nonprofits, startups, and established organizations in animal health and pet care. His roles have included President and CEO of Morris Animal Foundation, President of PetSmart Charities, co‑founder of Vidium Animal Health, and executive leadership positions at Embark.
“Circa brings a deep understanding of the animal health landscape paired with strategic thinking that is distinctly different,” Dr. Haworth said. “That combination creates strong, lasting impact.”
Circa Healthcare’s Advisory Board will work closely with agency leadership to support long‑term strategy and reinforce Circa’s commitment to thoughtful, industry‑informed marketing and communications.
