About George Karr
I have 18 years of experience successfully marketing products for Woman’s Health, Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes and Gastroenterology. I have successfully had products added to five teaching institution formularies in Washington, D.C. I have worked to have products added to major local managed care plans throughout the years, which resulted in winning two top sales force awards. I have demonstrated the skill sets to successfully launch new products in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and the Virginia markets.
