The Customer Excellence Partner

for Pharma Provocateurs.

Because Pharma's Consumer-Grade Future is Already Here.

What's Your Move?

I Turned My Outsider's Perspective into a Mission to Shape What's Next in Pharma Commercial.

I came to pharma and life sciences from the outside, which I worked to turn from a perceived disadvantage into a value-creating differentiator. My background in hospitality, financial services, retail, and other consumer-intensive industries was defined by sectors where experience was central to how organizations competed, won or lost. Inside Pfizer and Bayer, that perspective was applied, challenged, refined, and ultimately made more relevant by the work that helped me see where consumer-grade expectations applied directly, and where pharma required something more nuanced and purpose-built. That journey evolved into a renewed sense of purpose and a clear mission: to help the industry match the brilliance of its breakthrough science with experiences worthy of it.

Earning the Right to Be Your Trusted Partner Through Depth of Experience and Passion for the Game.

I served as a customer excellence and customer experience executive within the Chief Marketing Organization at Pfizer and the Bayer Pharmaceuticals Customer Powerhouse, where I was responsible for crafting and executing global customer experience strategies, leading the adoption of customer-centric ways of working across brand teams and therapeutic areas, and serving as the principal corporate advisor on experience-led growth. Before that, I held marketing, commercial, and customer experience leadership roles with The Ritz-Carlton Leadership Center, Mercer, and EY, and provided customer-centric commercial transformation and CXM turnaround consulting to leading global brands in retail, financial services, consumer goods, and hospitality, across both publicly traded and private equity business models.

I am also a founding faculty member of the Master of Science in Customer Experience Management degree program within the Department of Marketing at Michigan State University's Broad College of Business. I am an Inc. 500 awarded former founder and CEO, a Certified Customer Experience Professional, a prior board member of the Customer Experience Professionals Association, and a US Army Intelligence veteran. I am based in New York City.

Capabilities

Core Competencies Developed Across Industries, Adapted to the Complexity of Global Pharma.

Cross-Industry Capability Transfer

Bringing consumer-grade experience disciplines from hospitality, financial services, and retail into the regulated reality of pharma, where they become a source of advantage rather than a borrowed idea.

Commercial Systems Architecture

Designing Customer Excellence as a structural commercial system that connects brand, product, experience, and culture, rather than a function bolted onto the side of the organization.

Value Codification and Measurement

Turning experience from an intangible into a managed commercial asset, linked to value realization, customer value at risk, and the outcomes leaders are accountable for.

Durable Enterprise Change

Working alongside leaders and teams through the Player-Coach model to embed the change into both the operating model and the culture, so it is owned internally and endures well beyond the engagement.

The Backstory

Credibility Earned Where Trust, Rigor,

and Results Are Non-Negotiable.

In a world of hot takes and the performative "expertise" of social media influencers, my coaching, speaking and insights proposition is shaped by working in environments where trust, accountability and rigor are earned through evidence, disciplined execution and results.

The Agency

Connecting Scientific Brilliance to Commercial Excellence.

The Customer Excellence Agency exists to help pharma and life sciences companies meet the Consumer-Grade Imperative.

Built deliberately as a solopreneur model, the Agency lets me work as a true player-coach and honest broker across the ecosystem. With the stakes in pharma as high as they are, there is no room for amateurism or half measures.

The Purpose

The Pursuit of Excellence in Service of Science™.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

-Aristotle

As my adopted industry, going in-house in global pharma has been a revelation. The stakes simply cannot be higher. At Pfizer, the Science Will Win™ mantra resonated deeply with me because it reflected a belief I had long held and practiced, and also happened to align with Aristotle’s conviction that excellence is not an act, but a habit.

As an alum of that storied "Brooklyn Born" organization and the Berlin-based Bayer Pharmaceuticals, and through relationships with industry colleagues across the broader life sciences and healthcare ecosystem, that belief was reinforced repeatedly: systemic rigor, structural discipline, and human ingenuity, applied consistently, are what translate scientific ambition into real-world impact for real people.

Breakthrough science matters above all, but what ultimately determines its reach is the systems and experiences that carry it into the world. That belief now shapes my work, my writing, my teaching, and defines the purpose of this agency platform. This is the purposeful pursuit: The Pursuit of Excellence in Service of Science™.
