In the short time I had the privilege of working with him, I was instantly impressed with his broad and deep knowledge of the Pharmaceutical Distribution industry, in particular in assessing the potential impact on customer behavior, and to the bottom line, of various activities as we worked through a post-acquisition process. While focused on Business results, Bob was also always looking out for his broader team of associates, and how he could support them through transition activities." and "Bob is bright, hard working and well spoken. When he came to HD Smith the generic department was in disarray. He took control and made it the most profitable category in the company We didn't always agree on changes that were made but Bob would listen to my suggestions (complaints) on generics. He gave me respect. He was aware I had been in the generic business for over 40 years That I was the founder of JJ Balan the company HD Smith purchased when opening in the NY Metro market (the most competitive market in the country) He 's very good at what he does.
