About David Mershon

It’s more important than ever for healthcare businesses nowadays to create a culture of trust, teamwork, and collaboration so that all the best solutions are being brought forward to help everyone succeed. That also means having leaders with a willingness to bring forward the things that aren’t working and the courage to have those types of conversations.I help my companies accelerate and exceed sales growth by transforming and expanding large territories; launching and turning novel products into market leaders; and maximizing the performance of sales organizations without losing focus on the success of the customers and patients they serve. Notable results include: As the Area Sales Director, Hospital at Astellas Pharmaceuticals, I orchestrated a 180-degree turnaround of a 26-state area, thereby repositioning the West Area Hospital organization from last place to #1 in sales. My organization has created a $400M+ book of business; delivered the #1 product launch for Cresemba, a rare orphan product, and exceeded 100% of its goals every year since 2012 for 5 critical products. At Bristol Myers Squibb, I set the foundation to generate $1.5B in Abilify sales with YoY growth and created the #2 region out of 8, with my team of 8 district managers and 70 specialty sales reps reaching up to 118% of their goal.  At Novartis Pharmaceuticals, I steered success for 3 key product launches (Tekturna, Exforge, and Enablex); turned my region to #1 out 4; and exceeded of market share goals for its Diovan franchise and #1 market share for Lotrel.A turnaround expert and organization builder with a servant leadership style, I build a culture of accountability, connectivity, and teamwork. Since it’s my responsibility to the company to help feed the leadership pipeline, I focus on creating high-performing teams that work well together and work for the greater good of the team vs. individuals.I’m active on LinkedIn and would enjoy connecting with you. Please feel free to reach out.
