Experience
Executive Sales Representative
Jul 2003 — Present · Chico, CA, US
I am responsible for growing, defending & cultivating device loyalty specific to stapling, AI technologies, vessel sealing, & access devices related to laparoscopy through evidence based medicine (EBM). My ongoing development & responsibilities further include staying current on healthcare economics, competitive offerings, contractual considerations, & surgeon technique variations. A critical aspect of my responsibilities include, but not exclusive to supporting & training surgeons & staff on the safe & appropriate use of devices which is directly related to shorter hospital stay & \"best in class\" outcomes via minimally invasive approach (MIS). As a result reimbursement is maximized, ultimately solidifying brand preference as a result of surgeon acknowledgement of \"best in class\" devices when compared with competitive offerings.
