Accomplishments (3)
Senior VP, Alliance Management, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (professional)
Within two years of starting the alliance management function at Endo Pharmaceuticals, a semi-virtual US drug manufacturer and marketer with annual sales revenue of ~$600 million, the company was recognized by ASAP (Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals) in the annual ASAP Alliance Excellence Awards program, an unusual accomplishment for a company of Endo's size (previous winners included Eli Lilly, Cisco, IBM, etc.)
VP, Corporate Development, Janssen Pharmaceutical Products, LP (professional)
Completed a licensing transaction for a Phase II oncology drug, with intense competition from several large competitors with more-established oncology expertise, with less attractive financial terms than were offered by competition.
Executive Director, Global Market Development (professional)
Prepared the launch program and worked with J&J companies worldwide to introduce and build demand for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPREX, PROCRIT in the US). Led the global commercial team until global annual sales revenue surpassed US$ 1 billion, the first prescription product for the company to ever pass that milestone.
