I’m an experienced strategic and tactical marketing manager with a strong leadership presence. I’m passionate about driving positive change in the businesses I manage, and have been called “strategic”, change agile” and “proactive”. I’ve worked at Sigma-Aldrich (now Millipore Sigma) and bioMérieux where I’ve accrued a track record of 10+ years of successful cradle-to-grave product lifecycle management. I’ve led corporate marketing, business management, and communication strategies for IVD instruments and reagents in my most recent roles. I’m driven by my collaborative nature and have led cohesive teams by negotiating, building relationships, influencing team members, and by recognizing and rewarding excellent work. This drive has allowed me to: ► Act as a trusted strategic adviser to senior leadership by providing insight to competitive drivers; my analytical side thrives on monitoring what we’re doing, refining our actions, and driving improvements. ► Own and guide complex projects to a successful resolution; I love to jump in and take on challenging problems. ► Work fluidly within cross-functional teams and globally matrixed organizations; I honestly enjoy connecting with smart people to foster and implement shared ideas and solutions. In my most recent role as a Marketing Manager with the Clinical Microbiology Unit of bioMérieux, I’ve earned a reputation for successfully implementing change initiatives and coaching internal leaders to achieve their potential.
