Over 33 years ago, after graduating from Drake University, I was incredibly blessed to land my first of many sales roles with one of THE premier healthcare companies in the world, Johnson & Johnson. I spent 25 years with J&J, taking advantage of every opportunity to broaden my sales leadership experiences, with an eye towards teaching others. This includes getting exposure to and proving myself in a variety of industries, functional areas and company sizes & cultures. When my J&J career ended, I purposely pursued companies / positions that would further broaden my experiences and professional network. This all led to me taking all of my career experiences and creating value for small to medium-size companies as part of a organization I founded in 2020 - BEACON Sales Advisory Group, LLC. As President (and Principal Advisor) of BEACON, LLC, I provide to these small to mid-sized companies the sales leadership and/or council needed to deliver record breaking growth. Today, I have completely shifted my focus, time and passion to an area that is way more personal and very much needed. Having received a cancer diagnosed in early 2021, it is now my mission in life to be a difference maker for those who are in the midst of their own cancer battle. I am now involved in a variety of capacities with non-profit organizations focused on Pancreatic Cancer - research and patient advocacy. Very honored to be part of these teams with the right area of focus.
Listed skills include Sales Operations, Sales Management, Product Launch, Strategy, and 40 others.
