Thank you. I have another job lined up starting Mid-April. From the minute I found out...
...I went into turbo mode on networking and applying. A SF Chronicle article came out about our closure and I ended up scoring something via that. So, now I've turned my severance into a bonus and I'm just chillin doing stuff around the house and taking the fam to Hawaii for spring break in my 1.5 months of "retirement".  Previous Message best of luck on finding your next chapter! Previous Message ...it is truly terrifying when you're going through it. Best of luck to you all. Previous Message
I recently parted ways with my Company and find myself on the job market for the first time since 2008. Finding the right job is a full time job and that's my mission now.
I'm a engineering grad that switched career paths into business development and have had a nearly two decade stint of increasing responsibilities in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, life sciences, and health technology.
As one who never asks for help from anyone, writing this message is a challenge for me, but also a sign of my personal growth
I enjoy and thrive the most when I'm figuring out how to scale and deliver hyper-growth: be it to a small business looking to ramp up, or, a large business that is struggling with an existing or new offering.
This likely will go nowhere, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, so if you or someone you know is looking for an Illini that is accustomed to being a road warrior and burning the candle at both ends to grow business, please reply or get into my box.
Also - my next gig does not have to be in healthcare. I'm happy and desire to spread my wings. While much of my success has been in that sector, the skills are transferrable.
