Please also find enclosed certain relevant sections of the Registration Statement updated to reflect the preliminary proposed price range and share number information as described above.

For clarity, the Company advises the Staff that, given the volatility of the public trading markets and the uncertainty of the timing of the offering, the Company and the underwriters have not yet finally agreed to a price range or reverse stock split for the offering. The Company advises the Staff that the final price range to be included in a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement will be no more than $2.00, if the maximum price is $10.00 per share or less, or 20% of the maximum price, if the maximum price is greater than $10.00 per share, unless otherwise approved by the Staff.

The Company respectfully requests that the information contained in this request letter be treated as confidential information and that the Commission provide timely notice to Dr. August J. Troendle, President and Chief Executive Officer, Medpace Holdings, Inc., 5375 Medpace Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45227, telephone (513) 579-9911, before it permits any disclosure of the underlined and highlighted information contained in this request letter.

Please direct any questions or comments regarding this letter or the Registration Statement to the undersigned at (212) 906-2918. Thank you for your assistance.
