A company’s growth must be supported by data-driven strategies and innovative internal and external product development initiatives. That is why I apply big-picture perspectives to drive innovative strategies in support of immediate and long-term growth objectives. This also enables me to direct strategic partnerships, investments and acquisitions to align product offerings with market trends and customer needs. I collaborate closely with internal R&D teams and external industry and venture partners on clinical and product initiatives with the focus on improving patients’ quality of life. Through integration of digital and brand marketing with patient education and patient care we close the loop on supporting patient access to our clinically important therapies. Whether working with internal teams or external partners, I employ an others-first approach in interactions and collaborations throughout organizational levels. In my work as a VP / General Manager of the divisional COE, I encouraged open communication and problem solving through teamwork while striving to set an example by listening and taking others’ perspectives into account when establishing plans and approaches. This people-centric methodology also allowed me to build innovative industry partnerships to drive cost-effective product development and go-to-market initiatives. My efforts developing these partnerships set our company apart by generating more patient treatments options.
