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

My Outsider Perspective Became a Mission to Shape What's Next in Pharma Commercial.

I spent a decade building customer experience inside global pharma. Then I rebuilt it as a commercial system, because experience that cannot be tied to realized value will always lose the budget argument.


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.

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.

Disciplined execution when the stakes are highest.

8 years of active duty in U.S. Army Intelligence instilled a mission-oriented mindset and disciplined execution in high-stakes situations, translating into focus, accountability, and ensuring complex transformations advance with clarity and resolve.

Rigorous thinking blended with real-world application.

As a founding faculty of the first master's degree program in Customer Experience, I designed and taught the first master’s level Customer Experience Strategy course, equipping leaders to translate customer-centric principles into enterprise execution.

An entrepreneurial approach and growth mindset.

As a former Inc. 500-awarded founder/CEO I bring a bias for action and growth. Having built and scaled a business, I understand the real constraints leaders face, translating into practical guidance and a clear focus on measurable outcomes.

Pharma’s Hidden

Intent-to-Impact Gap

In some therapeutic areas, up to 50% of written scripts never become initiated therapy. The value does not disappear because physicians stop prescribing. It disappears because the commercial model was never designed to govern what happens after.


This paper shows where the leakage occurs, why field intelligence is the most actionable source of insight available in the commercial system, and how a field intelligence and activation architecture turns what field teams already know into governed, measurable progression.

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. It is the pragmatic evolution of my book, The Customer Excellence Enterprise: A Playbook for Creating Customers for Life (Wiley, 2024), into a Commercial Systems Architecture firm for bold leaders navigating the era of Experiential Commerce. 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.

Purpose.


Advancing human health through The Pursuit of Excellence in Service of Science™.

Mission.


As a Customer Excellence Activation partner, I help pharma and life sciences leaders meet the Consumer-Grade Imperative, transforming customer-centric intent into the culture, ways of working, and commercial systems that fully realize the value of their science and match its brilliance with experiences worthy of it.

Vision.


Pharma companies are equipped to match the rigor of their evidentiary standards for science, their precision standards for manufacturing, and their trust standards for brands with an equally elevated experiential standard for customer engagement.



Anchored in 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™.
