About Lisa Kerness
Award-winning, top-producing sales leader with over 20 years of experience in specialty pharmaceuticals and medical oncology, with a strong focus on molecular diagnostics, including both tissue and liquid-based approaches. I bring deep knowledge in Next Generation Sequencing, with a focus across a broad range of tumor types, including Neuro-Oncology, Gynecologic Oncology, Medical Oncology, and Urologic Oncology. My career has involved close collaboration with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in academic institutions and community clinics, where I have successfully driven sales under “buy and bill” and RX specialty pharmacy models. I have played a pivotal role in four major product launches: Caris Assure (Blood-Based Molecular Profiling), Poteligeo (CTCL-Targeted Immunotherapy), Firmagon (Treatment for Advanced Prostate Cancer), and Euflexxa (Injectable for Knee OA).As a consistent top-performer, I have a proven track record of exceeding quotas, growing market share, and fostering strong, enduring relationships in some of the most competitive markets, including NYC and LA.
