Recommendations For Leo
Vice President of Operations
Coram, Inc., an Apria Healthcare Company
Leo was not only a valued colleague, he was a strategist, specialist, negotiator and
teacher. He was the principal leader behind Coram's blood products division and was widely
recognized within Coram and the overall industry for his expertise in this area. Leo
brought a unique set of skills to a very specialized market and led Coram to be one of the
nation's leading provider of IV therapies for patients with bleeding disorders and other
blood related conditions.
He is a consummate professional and was extremely well-liked and respected within the
entire organization. I'm very proud to have worked with Leo and learned a great deal from
him during my tenure with Coram. June 18, 2009

Working with Leo in many capacities over our tenure with Coram was a true pleasure. Leo
is talented, intelligent, focused, and consistently acts in a manner that demonstrates his
integrity and ethical standards. His knowledge of the business put him in a position to
provide feedback that was valuable and sound. September 28, 2009
3rd Kerry Levy, Branch Manager, Coram

When I started my career in the home infusion industry, Leo Gianacopoulos was one of the
key individuals who had the greatest impact on my growth, development and understanding of
this unique industry. Leo is an experienced and qualified pharmacist and has coupled this
with a strong understanding of the operational component of the healthcare industry.
Leo is well-liked and respected by his staff, peers and colleagues. He brings
professionalism and credibility to any position or setting he enters. People naturally go
to Leo for his knowledge, understanding and insight into their operations and strategic
planning. I would highly recommend Leo to any organization that has the benefit of hiring
him. July 29, 2009

was and is my "go to" for all things blood product related. Leo is extraordinarily well
thought of in the industry, is fair and just as a manager and is an engaged leader. July

Leo's leadership experience and style along with his tremendous experience in the
healthcare space as an operations executive is as good as I have seen anywhere in my 23
years of experience. He is an extremely solid professional. June 16, 2009
3rd Philip Vecchiolli, Vice President of Sales, Ancillary Care Management
worked indirectly for Leo at HMSS, Inc/Coram Healthcare
Leo is the ultimate professional, and one that we all so often depended on for
operational excellence - and he never let us down. Leo is a results-oriented Manager who
was always most effective in his ability to manage people in a way that acheived voluntary
cooperation from others - both subordinates, and peers. He is simply an outstanding
individual.
Should I ever have the opportunity to work with Leo again, I would consider it a real
honor. He will be a great asset to any organization who has him on their team. June 15,
