I work in the pharmaceutical industry, for one of the ten largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. I was a sales representative for eight years, and now I am my company's Director of Business Development and Corporate Liaison for Southeastern Europe. My secondary role when I'm not in my territory in Europe is Director of Global Digital Marketing.
I graduated from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing and Logistics Management. I also earned a minor in Communications. I graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 2004 with a Master of Business Communications degree.
I spend more time traveling than I do at home. I still live in St. Paul, Minnesota, but I work one week per month in Chicago, one week per month in Paris, and one week per month in Southeastern Europe. My territory includes the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Albania.
I sometimes do training and assessments outside my territory in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
Here is an article that my company produced about my position in October of 2010. It has some personal information in it so it's on a page that you need a password to see.
