Professional info​

I have twenty years experience in both marketing and product management, mainly in medical devices -both domestic and international. I have a very broad skill set that ranges from media and advertising to market analysis and pricing.

My professional philosophy is grounded in understanding and meeting customer needs, but I also recognize the importance of working within the framework of available resouces and company process. I believe it is important to understand how one's marketing activities impact the sales funnel, to move projects forward every day, communicate clearly and directly, and to treat coworkers and vendors with respect and kindness. That said, the bottom line is that every company for whom I've worked has experienced significant growth to marketing campaigns.
