I am driven and experienced pharmaceutical professional with almost two decades of experience in various industry-leading roles. Some might describe my career path as unconventional. I consider it inspired.My initial role in the business was as a Walgreens Pharmacy Technician. There, I experienced first-hand the positive impact medications could have on people's quality of life. This job established my passion for the industry and desire to have an even broader, positive impact on people's lives.Currently, I serve as the Director of National Accounts for Hikma Pharmaceuticals where I am responsible for strategic sales activities that represent roughly 50% of the company's total revenue. My leadership in RFP strategy and my ability to identify and onboard new business opportunities have significantly contributed to the company's robust financial growth.Before joining Hikma, I was a Global Generic Sourcing Category Manager at Walgreens Boots Alliance Development in Switzerland. In this role, I managed ~$3B of formulary spend, collaborated with international teams, and negotiated cost-saving contracts for top-selling generic products.Earlier in my career, I made impactful contributions at IMS Health, where I directed client relationships and enhanced engagement strategies. At Walgreens, I held multiple leadership roles, from Sales Solution Director to Manager of Product Development, where I led innovative projects and drove substantial business growth.My skills go beyond numbers. I excel in strategic account management, forecasting, negotiation, pharmaceutical knowledge, and much more. What sets me apart is my high emotional intelligence. I pride myself on my leadership skills, my ability to empathize with my team, and my knack for navigating complex situations.I earned my Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology form Loyola University, Chicago.
