About Christopher Whaley

Over 25 years of experience in the pharmaceuticals industry with Pricing, Account Executive and Sales management experience, I am passionate about improving health outcomes for patients and creating value for customers and stakeholders. My core competencies include contract pricing, pricing analysis, price optimization, sales, pharmacy, and people management. As the associate director of global pricing vaccines at Merck, I lead the development and implementation of pricing strategies and policies for vaccines across markets and regions, ensuring alignment with business objectives, customer needs, and regulatory requirements. I collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to optimize pricing decisions, negotiate contract terms and conditions, and monitor pricing performance and trends. I also leverage my domain expertise and market insights to provide guidance and recommendations on pricing opportunities and challenges. My mission is to drive vaccine access and affordability, while maximizing revenue and profitability for Merck.
