About Robert Glide

As a strategy-driven Leader with a solid and consistent track record of success in helping companies achieve their goals, I understand the importance of results. I am a dynamic IT executive with deep experience driving growth and productivity (namely in the pharmaceutical industry) by successfully overseeing the execution of strategic IT priorities, including significant IT infrastructure and data management system upgrades. With multiple industry certifications, such as MS SQL Database Administrator, I excel in agile systems design and support, disaster recovery, data center management, Hyper-V clusters, and redundancy. I revel in the challenge of accomplishing goals where process-related challenges threaten to impact the organization’s bottom line negatively. I am also a passionate contributor focusing on exceeding organizational expectations.I have made teams lean and efficient during my career through high-level building and mentoring. In addition, I have consistently improved business processes and delivery times, resolved business needs while reducing costs, and translated very technical concepts to business terms. A few of my recent successes include: I facilitated Birdi’s smooth transition to a new HQ by drawing up a plan for using the space and submitting it to architects to expedite the design process. The plan included the department teams’ areas, network closets, doors, and walls. I ensured ample space for each department to grow for five years. I built a highly praised data warehouse at NoviXus Pharmacy Services that was designed to keep track of 340B accumulations. The data warehouse tracked and displayed all accumulations from multiple vendors, data sources, and formats. This solution ended up being sold to a 340b provider impressed with our ability to show them overdue or outstanding items. I boosted website orders by 3% in one year and received 12% fewer complaints related to functionality at NoviXus Pharmacy Services by making the website more user-friendly. To achieve this, I rebuilt the website using the same look and feel while making the site more accessible for patients. This approach also allowed our call center to follow our patients’ issues and questions more easily. I have managed 30 staff and a 3 million dollar budget. All in all, I have earned a reputation as an influential, results-oriented leader.
