PROFILE Diagnostic Laboratory Sales Management….

To continue my management career within the Diagnostic Laboratory field. I made the transition from 25+ years in the Financial Services Industry to the Diagnostic Laboratory industry when I joined DRG Laboratory three years ago as a Regional Manager in the Northeast Division. I was ultimately promoted from RM to NE Divisional Director within 2 years by consistently exceeding all sales targets. I now wish to join an industry leading company to expand upon on my knowledge within the Primary Care and Gastroenterology Specialist arenas, and to leverage the contacts that I have successfully made within my tenure at DRG Laboratory. I look forward to building another sales force to help drive increases in revenue and sales growth within the Northeastern United States.

EMPLOYMENT

BACKGROUND Diagnostic Reference Group Laboratory August 2015- present

NE Divisional Director, Collegeville, PA

Responsible for growing revenue and production numbers of at home stool kit specimens provided to patients of Gastroenterologists, Primary Care physicians, Functional and Integrative Medicine providers within Northeastern Division. Within last year I had a total of 6 RM’s reporting to me before we had to scale down our business while we “re-tooled”our GI Pathogens Plus Report. Main responsibilities were to make sure that all of my RM’s were hitting sales targets and actively delivering specimen and biopsy kits to the providers to keep steady revenue stream. Increased specimen count from at home stool kits and biopsies by over 60% in year one and continued sales and activity through challenging episode within company when we shut down production from October 2017- January 2018. Was able to keep four key accounts from leaving us through continued contact over that timeframe. Recently confirmed large international contact that is now re-activated through my initiative with a very prominent Australian provider that will help DRG Laboratory remain a viable business entity.
