is intended to provide an incentive for superior work and to motivate eligible executives of Medpace Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries toward even higher achievement and business results, to tie their goals and
interests to those of the Company and its stockholders and to enable the Company to attract and retain highly qualified executives. The Bonus Plan is for the benefit of Covered Employees (as defined below). 

 

	2.	Administration 

 The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Compensation Committee”) shall have the sole discretion and authority to administer and interpret the Bonus Plan. 
  

	3.	Eligibility and Participation 

 The Compensation Committee shall select the persons

employees” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the applicable taxable year of the Company (such selected persons, the
“Covered Employees”). 
  

	4.	Bonus Determinations

Plan based upon the attainment of performance objectives which are established by the Compensation Committee and relate to financial, operational or other metrics with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Performance

financial ratios (including those measuring liquidity, activity, profitability or leverage); (xxxvii) financing and other capital raising transactions; (xxxviii) year-end cash; and (xxxix) acquisition activity and marketing initiatives, any of which
may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or decrease or as compared to results of a peer group or to market performance indicators or indices. 

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4(b): (i) any bonuses paid to Covered Employees under the Bonus Plan shall be based upon
objectively determinable bonus formulas that tie such bonuses to one or more performance objectives relating to the Performance Goals; (ii) bonus formulas for Covered Employees shall be adopted in each performance period by the Compensation
Committee (generally, for performance periods of one year or more, no later than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which the Performance Goals relate); and (iii) no bonuses shall be paid to Covered Employees unless and
until the Compensation Committee makes a certification with respect to the attainment of the performance objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may pay bonuses (including, without limitation, discretionary bonuses) to Covered
Employees under the Bonus Plan based upon such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion determine. 

(c) The payment of a bonus to a Covered Employee with respect to a performance period shall be conditioned upon the Covered Employee’s
employment by the Company on the last day of the performance period; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee may make exceptions to this requirement, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in the case of a
Covered Employee’s termination of employment, retirement, death or disability. 
  

	5.	Forfeiture and Claw-Back Provisions 

 The Compensation Committee may provide that any
bonuses paid under the Bonus Plan shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act and any rules, regulations or interpretations thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy. 
  

	6.	Other Provisions 

 (a) Neither the establishment of the Bonus Plan nor the selection of
any individual as a Covered Employee shall give any individual any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or any right whatsoever under the Bonus Plan other than to receive bonus payments awarded by the
Compensation Committee. 
 (b) No member of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee shall be liable to any
individual in respect of the Bonus Plan for any act or omission of such member, any other member, or any officer, agent or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 

(c) The Company and its subsidiaries shall be entitled to withhold such amounts as may be required by federal, state or local law from all
bonus payments under the Bonus Plan. 

  
 2 

 (d) To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Bonus Plan shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or any other jurisdiction. 

(e) The Bonus Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and will be interpreted and construed in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date (as defined below)
(collectively, “Section 409A”). Each bonus payable pursuant to the Bonus Plan shall be intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A such that the bonus will not be subject to any penalty tax imposed
under Section 409A and, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, each bonus under the Bonus Plan shall be paid subject to the applicable Covered Employee’s continued employment through the date of payment of such bonus.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Bonus Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Company determines that any provision of the Bonus Plan could otherwise cause any person to be subject to the penalty taxes imposed
under Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments to the Bonus Plan or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Company determines are
necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any liability for failure to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A be transferred from a Covered Employee or any other person to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents pursuant to the terms of the Bonus Plan or otherwise. 

 

	7.	Amendment and Termination 

 The Board of Directors of the Company reserves the right to
amend or terminate the Bonus Plan at any time in its sole discretion. Any amendments to the Bonus Plan shall require stockholder approval only to the extent required by any applicable law, rule or regulation. 

 

	8.	Stockholder Approval 

 No bonuses shall be paid under the Bonus Plan unless and until the
Company’s stockholders shall have approved the Bonus Plan. The Bonus Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders after the initial adoption of the Bonus Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company. 

 

	9.	Term of Bonus Plan 

 The Bonus Plan shall become effective as of the day immediately
prior to the first date upon which common stock of the Company is listed (or approved for listing) upon notice of issuance on any securities exchange or designated (or approved for designation) upon notice of issuance as a national market security
on an interdealer quotation system (the “Effective Date”). The Bonus Plan shall expire on the earliest to occur of: (a) the first material modification of the Bonus Plan (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.162-27(h)(1)(iii)); (b) the first meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which members of the Board of Directors of the Company are 

  
 3 

 
to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which occurred the first registration of an equity security of the Company under Section 12 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (c) such other date, if any, on which the “reliance period” described under Treasury Regulation 1.162-27(f)(2) expires pursuant to the terms of Section 162(m) of the Code, and the
rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder. The Bonus Plan is intended to be subject to the relief set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(f)(1) and shall be interpreted accordingly.

 Exhibit 10.17 

Medpace Holdings, Inc. 

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy 

Non-employee members of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Medpace Holdings, Inc. (the
“Company”) shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”). The cash and equity compensation described in this
Policy shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board (subject to Section 1(c)(ii)), to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company
(each, a “Non-Employee Director”) who may be eligible to receive such cash or equity compensation, unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company;
provided that Non-Employee Directors who are affiliates of Cinven Capital Management (V) General Partner Limited (“Cinven”) shall be paid only the annual retainers described in Section 1. This Policy shall become
effective after the effectiveness of the Company’s initial public offering (the date of such effectiveness, the “Effective Date”) and shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the
Board. This Policy may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion and if such an initial public offering does not occur on or prior to December 31, 2016 this Policy shall be void ab initio. The
terms and conditions of this Policy shall supersede any prior cash and/or equity compensation arrangements for service as a member of the Board between the Company and any of its Non-Employee Directors and between any subsidiary of the Company and
any of its non-employee directors. No Non-Employee Director shall have any rights hereunder, except with respect to non-qualified stock options or restricted stock units granted pursuant to this Policy. 

1. Annual Retainers. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the retainers described below. 

(a) Annual Retainers. Each Non-Employee Director shall receive an annual retainer with a value of $40,000 for service on the Board.

 (b) Additional Annual Retainers. In addition, a Non-Employee Director shall receive the following annual retainers: 

(i) Audit Committee. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer
with a value of $20,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Audit Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer with a value of $7,500 for such service. 

(ii) Compensation Committee. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Compensation Committee shall receive an additional
annual retainer with a value of $7,500 for such service. 
 (c) Payment of Retainers. 

(i) Timing. The annual retainers described in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter
and shall be paid by the Company in arrears not later than the fifteenth day following the end of each calendar quarter. 
 (ii)
Form. The annual retainers shall be paid in the form of cash; provided that the Board may, in its discretion, permit a Non-Employee Director, other than any affiliate of Cinven, 

 
to elect to receive any portion of the annual retainer in the form of shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in lieu of cash. If such an election is
permitted by the Board and made by a Non-Employee Director, the number of shares of Common Stock to be paid shall be determined by dividing the portion of the annual retainer payable in the form of Common Stock by the Fair Market Value (as defined
in the Company’s 2016 Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity plan then maintained by the Company (such plan, as may be amended from time to time, the “Equity Plan”)) per share of Common Stock on the
date the retainer is payable. Shares issued in lieu of cash shall be fully vested and unrestricted shares of Common Stock. Any election by a Non-Employee Director to receive a portion of the annual retainer in shares of Common Stock must be made
prior to the applicable payment date for such portion of the annual retainer and pursuant to an election form to be provided by the Company. An election must comply with all rules established from time to time by the Board, including any insider
trading policy or similar policy. A Non-Employee Director may not make an election pursuant to this Section 1(c)(ii) during a Company blackout period or when the Non-Employee Director is otherwise in possession of material non-public
information. 
 (ii) Termination of Service. In the event a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in
the applicable positions described in Section 1(b), for an entire calendar quarter, such Non-Employee Director shall receive a prorated portion of the retainer(s) otherwise payable to such Non-Employee Director for such calendar quarter
pursuant to Section 1(b), with such prorated portion determined by multiplying such otherwise payable retainer(s) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which the Non-Employee Director serves as a Non-Employee
Director or in the applicable positions described in Section 1(b) during the applicable calendar quarter and the denominator of which is the number of days in the applicable calendar quarter. 

2. Equity Compensation. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below. 

(a) Annual Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who (i) serves on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) after the Effective Date and (ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be automatically granted, on the date
of such Annual Meeting, an option to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock (at a per-share exercise price equal to the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the date of such annual meeting (or on the last preceding trading day if
the date of the annual meeting is not a trading day)) that has an aggregate fair value on the date of grant of $90,000 (calculated in accordance with FASB Accounting Codification Topic 718 (“ASC 718”) using the same formula
and assumptions as the Company utilized for the purpose of valuing outstanding options in its then-most recently prepared audited annual financial statement). The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as the
“Annual Awards.” For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Employee Director elected for the first time to the Board at an Annual Meeting shall receive only an Annual Award in connection with such election, and shall not receive any
Initial Award on the date of such Annual Meeting as well. 
 (b) Initial Awards. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, each
Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board after the Effective Date on any date other than the date of an Annual Meeting shall be automatically granted, on the date of such Non-Employee Director’s initial election
or appointment (such Non-Employee Director’s “Start Date”), an award of an option to purchase shares of Common Stock (at a per-share exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of such
annual meeting (or on the last preceding trading day if the date of the annual meeting is not a trading day)) that has an aggregate fair value on such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date equal to the product of (i) $90,000 (calculated in
accordance with ASC 718 using the same formula and assumptions as the Company utilized for the purpose of valuing outstanding options in its 

 
then-most recently prepared audited annual financial statement) and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) 365 minus (y) the number of days in the period beginning on the
date of the Annual Meeting immediately preceding such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date (or, if no such Annual Meeting has occurred, the Effective Date) and ending on such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date and the denominator of which is
365. The awards described in this Section 2(c) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board in its sole discretion may determine that the Initial Award for any Non-Employee
Director be granted in the form of restricted stock units with equivalent value on the date of grant. For the avoidance of doubt, no Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award. 

(c) Termination of Employment of Employee Directors. Members of the Board who are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary
of the Company who subsequently terminate their employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial Award pursuant to Section 2(c) above, but to the extent that they are
otherwise eligible, will be eligible to receive, after termination from service with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, Annual Awards as described in Section 2(b) above. 

(d) Vesting of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors. Each Annual Award and Initial Award shall vest and become exercisable on the
earlier of (x) the day immediately preceding the date of the first Annual Meeting following the date of grant and (y) the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service through the
applicable vesting date. No portion of an Annual Award or Initial Award that is unvested or unexercisable at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board shall become vested and exercisable thereafter. All of a
Non-Employee Director’s Annual Awards and Initial Awards shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at such time. 

3. General. The annual retainers (whether provided in the form of cash or equity) and equity awards described herein shall be granted
under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions, including the limitations on the numbers of shares, of the Equity Plan. The equity awards described in Section 2 shall be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements,
including attached exhibits, in forms to be approved by the Board. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Policy as if fully set forth herein, and all retainers and equity grants hereunder are subject in all respects to the terms of
the Equity Plan. All numbers of shares determined hereunder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan.
