During my career, I conducted in-depth needs analysis to identify areas of improvement and propose effective solutions. Additional accomplishments include:
Negotiated and closed profitable contracts with Pharmaceutical and Medical Device companies concerning specialty services and supply chain strategies and services

Generating corporate partnerships, increasing revenue, and profitable business, I ensure strategic results. Eager to assess your needs and goals, I welcome an opportunity to meet and look forward to hearing from you.
My most recent experience as business owner provides me with a much better appreciation of what it takes to run a successful business that continues to grow. You wear each and every hat in the organization, you manage multiple task, build relationships with customers and partners and hire and train team members to be successful therefore making you successful. I have done all of this and welcome the opportunity to bring my talents to your team.
Thank you for your time and attention.
