• Set annual revenue, gross margin, and new-account targets by region, segment, and product category.

• Serve on the executive leadership team and contribute to company-wide planning, budgeting, and operational decisions.

Business Development & Contracting

• Lead pursuit of large-scale opportunities, including RFPs, RFQs, and competitive bids with health systems, universities, and public agencies.
• Build and manage relationships with group purchasing organizations (GPOs), integrated delivery networks (IDNs), and strategic distribution partners.
• Negotiate pricing, contract terms, and service-level agreements that protect margin and support long-term retention.
