At Genzyme Biosurgery, my call points included:✅ Colorectal Surgery✅ Surgical Oncology✅ Gynecologic Oncology✅ Gynecologic Surgery✅ General Surgery✅ OB/GYN SurgeryAfter I was offered the role of National Sales Manager at Atrium, a recruiter called me about an exciting role with a biotechnology company by the name of Genzyme. I was initially recruited sell Seprafilm, a revolutionary product designed to reduce the incidence, extent and severity of post-operative adhesion formation following abdominal and pelvic surgery, and accepted the position of territory manager since it did not involve travel or require relocation. However, I was promoted to Regional Sales Manager within the same year.I was a Regional Sales Manager with Genzyme for almost 14 years. During my tenure, I managed and led anywhere between seven and ten sales professionals across multiple states selling primarily to Gynecological and Surgical Oncologists, Trauma, Colon and Rectal, General and Gynecological Surgeons. In the process, I earned (5) ‘Distinguished’ and (4) ‘Exceeds’ annual performance evaluations. I also won multiple Presidents Club Award Trips including a Caribbean Cruise as well as a trip to the Cayman Islands. Additionally, I led three separate sales teams to a #1 year-end ranking in percent to plan four different times and exceeded my combined career assigned sales quota achieving over 103% to plan.What I am most proud of during my career with Genzyme was the fact that I recruited, hired, coached and mentored (14) members of my teams to promotions within the business unit, a record that still stands today. Those promotions included (5) Regional Sales Managers, (5) Key Account Managers, (2) Product Managers, (1) National Key Account Manager and (1) Area Director. My success at Genzyme was due entirely to my ability to source, recruit, interview and hire amazing talent, and was a driving force in my decision to leverage those skills into a new career and business.

At Atrium Medical, my call points included:✅ Cardiovascular Surgery✅ Vascular Surgery✅ Thoracic Surgery✅ General Surgery✅ Critical Care UnitsIn early 1994, a recruiter working for a national executive search firm reached out to me about a unique opportunity to sell a new and innovative PTFE vascular graft manufactured by a small privately held medical device company based in Hudson, NH. Up until that time, I had worked for a large, publicly traded company and the opportunity to work for a smaller organization with novel technology was very appealing.After successfully selling Atrium’s full line of ePTFE vascular grafts, polypropylene surgical hernia mesh, Chest Drains and Chest Tubes for a few years, I was offered a promotion to Eastern Regional Sales Manager within the Vascular Systems Division. In this role, I led a hybrid sales team consisting of both direct and independent sales professionals focused primarily on selling our proprietary lines of ePTFE grafts and polypropylene mesh to Vascular, Cardiovascular and General Surgeons.It was in this role that I learned firsthand that my ability to source, recruit, coach and manage talent would directly impact my ultimate success or failure as a hiring manager. In addition to leading my existing team, I read everything I could about recruiting, interviewing and hiring. I sought counsel from other regional managers, my boss, peers, colleagues, friends and even family members about how to win the war for talent. I also partnered with recruiters and executive search firms to further develop my recruiting skills.I took advantage of that combined wisdom to form the foundation of my success then and now in identifying, sourcing, recruiting, hiring and developing top performers. And because of my success in this regard, I was ultimately offered the role of National Sales Manager- Vascular Systems Division.

At Codman, my points included:✅ Neurosurgery✅ Orthopedic Spinal Surgery✅ General Surgery✅ Critical Care UnitsI began my medical device sales career, after being recruited out of B2B sales with Lanier, with Codman and Shurtleff, Inc. Codman was a division within the Johnson & Johnson family of companies and focused its efforts primarily into the handheld surgical instrument market. Codman was known both for its high level of quality as well as its specialty focus in the neurosurgery and orthopedic spinal surgery market. I loved everything about surgical device sales from calling on Neurosurgeons, Orthopedic Surgeons, General Surgeons, Vascular Surgeons and Cardiothoracic Surgeons, to working as a valued member of the surgical team in the Operating Room during surgery ensuring that my customers received maximum value and return on investment from my products. At the end of the day, making a difference in the life of the patient on the operating table was incredibly rewarding.A recruiter at a local executive search firm helped to make my dream of medical device sales a reality. I will forever be grateful for his efforts to recruit me into such a challenging, fulfilling and prestigious sales role.
