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.
