MPI Research strives to be the best CRO in preclinical and early clinical contract research.

With more than 15 years of experience building and leading sales teams that achieve top performance, the best part of my day is collaborating with and mentoring talented people to surpass targets and meet organizational goals. I place emphasis on empowering and incentivizing teams with innovative sales tools such as customized playbooks, digital dashboards, and career ladders that I create myself. My background is in the sciences so I’ve spent the better part of my career in sales and marketing leadership roles for life sciences and healthcare companies. I attribute much of my success to business acumen that lends to developing winning sales strategies and forecasting opportunities for growth. Known for my collaborative leadership style and strong communication skills, I have a proven record of advising and guiding executive teams on industry trends that affect marketing and sales. Driving year-over-year growth I recently increased sales during a three-year span from 2018 to 2021 by 230%. I accomplished significant growth in more than nine sales regions generating $500 million in sales. The key areas of my expertise include: · Business Development · Team Leadership · Data Analysis · Proposals & Presentations · Coaching & Training · Market Expansion · Project Management · Strategy & Planning · Change Management · Process Improvement · Customer Relationship Management (CRM) · Strategic Research · Vendor Negotiations · Budget Oversight I always look forward to making new professional connections on LinkedIn!
