Career Focus: Public Relations/ Writer / Editor/ Speaker
Affiliation: MedImmune, CreateSpace, Bausch & Lomb
I'm currently working as Public Relations, Director on the corporate communications team for a large biotech company called MedImmune. It has a pipeline of more than 120 drug candidates, perhaps its most well known product is the intra-nasal flu vaccine called FluMist®.
Prior to joining the MedImmune team I worked at an ophthalmic company called Bausch & Lomb within its commercial product division for four years. I supported its contact lens unit; the over-the-counter lens solutions and eye vitamin categories; the surgical group for both cataract and LASIK procedures as well as the company's pharmaceutical group - it was like working for five different companies but provided me with invaluable experience.
Before the ophthalmic industry "caught my eye," I worked in the telecommunications industry for five years during the Internet boom as corporate communications director for two Fortune 500 companies, dealing with dozens of crisis situations, union unrest and a major merger – followed by divestitures of all business units. I was also responsible for internal communications for the company as well.
I started off my career as a print and broadcast journalist for 10 years, working at several radio stations, two TV stations and two local newspapers. I got out of the media to start a family with my wife – we now have two daughters ages eight and six respectively and I also earned my MBA. All up-and-in, I have more than 20+ years communications experience. Beyond that, I’m a marathon runner, I just finished my first non-fiction book titled "Question of Faith: a Simple Question Toward Ultimate Truth" and I blog daily at http://www.thedailyretort.com.
