Rob has an unbridled passion for strategic account management. It has been the central theme throughout his career and is the heart and soul of his healthcare market expertise and know-how. He believes account managers are responsible for executing the market access strategy to ensure that all appropriate patients who would benefit, get rapid and sustained access to the brand, at the right price, with relative ease.
Rob’s career began at Schering Plough in September 1992, a month before Claritin was approved (timing can be everything!). In 1998 he left his District Manager role to take a position as a Managed Care Account Manager.
Since that time, and at each stop in Rob’s journey, he has never stopped acting as a strategic account manager. The accounts may have changed from commercial payors and IDNs to biotech manufacturers and diagnostic companies, but the work has remained. This includes Rob’s previous role as a founder and President of c2b solutions, a start-up focused on the capture and dissemination of unique and highly actionable, healthcare consumer insights. In addition to managing the growth and strategic direction of the organization, he was responsible for boot-strapping funding through his consultancy work. In this capacity Rob was directly responsible for 55% of the total revenues from 2013 – 2016.
As a consultant, Rob has facilitated over 100 account management training engagements for 400+ pharmaceutical, diagnostic and CPG account managers. Rob’s market research work has enabled him to be networked at all levels in Health Plans, PBMs, Specialty Pharmacies, Health Systems, Hospitals and Physician Groups. This has provided Rob with unique and valuable insights on his client’s priority customers.
