I’m a people-first sales leader with a personal tie to the rare disease and ultra-orphan space. My specialty is giving biotechnology and therapeutics companies an edge by developing their most critical resource – their people. I balance accountability with autonomy to optimize sales, accelerate volume growth, and guide teams through the ups and downs of market changes.Because market changes are the only constant.And this is why my focus is coaching teams to navigate them with passion and purpose.My story starts with a premature birth and only a 50/50 chance of survival. Three in 10 children with a rare disease won’t live to see their fifth birthday and the average time to receive an accurate diagnosis is 4.8 years. I use this as my personal driver in my work, tirelessly pursuing education strategies to help physicians reduce the time to diagnosis and give patients better outcomes. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀Meeting new and seasoned associates at their point of need and motivating each one uniquely are the keys to building high-performing teams. Without this investment, sellers feel unequipped and unsupported. I see my role as a Regional Sales Director as a trail guide for Zone Business Directors and CAMs. I clear their path so they can focus on their mission. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀When my teams know I have their backs, they can focus on helping more HCPs identify, diagnose, and educate patients. It’s not enough to know the technical details and science behind the treatments; our teams need to understand how to communicate the impact on patients' and caregivers’ lives.I equip them to become great educators and motivate them to light their own fire of motivation. I empower them with all the resources, training, and tools they need to help doctors give more children a fighting chance. My key areas of influence are business and salesforce expansion strategies, patient acquisition, access improvement, KOL engagement, and trust-building in the rare and ultra-orphan disease market.I'm passionate about helping people get the best out of their teams and bring lifesaving solutions to the patients who need them the most.
