Experience
My most recent experience was with Elanco Animal Health, where I worked in global and US affiliate customer insights on both the companion animal and food animal business. My human pharmaceutical experience comes from working in global market research at Eli Lilly, as well as at Brintnall Nicolini, a market research firm specializing in pharmaceutical and medical devices. I also led the market research group at Allsteel, a contract office furniture company owned by HNI corporation. My career started at Roche Diagnostics, working on point of care devices, primarily on blood glucose monitors. My agency side experience also includes being Market Research Director at the Agri Business Group (ABG), a specialized agricultural consulting firm.
I have conducted research with hundreds of thousands of respondents, hundreds of market research projects with dozens of companies as both a client-side and an agency-side researcher. This has provided me with experience to allows me to understand your problems or opportunities, as well as to know the right path to go down when designing and interpreting studies.
I also keep current on the latest thinking in customer insights and market research techniques. I continually educate myself via courses and conferences from Research Rockstar, Burke and Quirk’s. Finally, I have both a BA and an MBA with concentrations in marketing.
