About Julie Israel

I am an inspired, driven sales and commercial executive with a history of building, scaling, and transforming organizations for growth. Based on the unique needs of specific products, portfolios, or markets, I shape strategies and mobilize teams to execute bold initiatives. The result? Maximum sales impact. Consistent outperformance. Double-digit growth. My career started in sales and account management roles with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Amgen, and advanced through a series of progressive leadership roles with GSK and now Horizon Therapeutics. Throughout my experience, I’ve been recognized for developing incredible teams that deliver top results year over year. As a leader, I am relentless in discovering new ways to reach target audiences, outperform expectations, and partner with customers to ensure patients receive the medicines they need. Together with colleagues and teams, I surpassed goal after goal by creating well-structured organizations, establishing clear strategies, defining measurements of success, hiring great people, inspiring accountability, and practicing the art of stakeholder relations to foster trust and cultivate lasting connections. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS: • Launched new products and indications, and propelled sales of existing therapies—delivering mega growth year after year. • Developed people-first cultures that reward accountability, encourage collaboration, and ignite rapid, sustained growth, as well as several #1 rankings. • Created GSK’s academic group, penetrating some of the industry’s toughest markets and customer segments. • Earned a reputation for excellence—9x President’s Club Winner plus dozens of sales and leadership awards for superior contributions in every role. Appointed to senior-level boards and workgroups for major change initiatives. THERAPEUTIC AREAS: Rare diseases, oncology, immunology, hematology, nephrology, neurology, endocrinology, psychiatry, rheumatology, pulmonology, urology, and many others. PRODUCTS: Biologics (including targeted therapies), pharmaceuticals (all forms, including buy-and-bill and self-injectable) CUSTOMER SEGMENTS: Lead teams to cover all physician segments, large and small, including integrated delivery networks (IDNs), hospitals, clinics, academic institutions, and others.
