Sr. Director of Business Development, Clinical Trial Workforce Solution Strategist
United States
Strategic Business Development and Client Solutions leader with 23+ years of experience driving growth through strategic partnerships, market expansion, and customer-focused solutions across the life sciences industry.
Throughout my career, I have built and scaled high-performing portfolios by combining relationship-driven sales with strategic execution. Most recently, I generated $5.3M in new business during my first full year within a newly established life sciences division, helping accelerate growth and expand market presence. Prior to that, I achieved 40%+ growth in six months, secured multimillion-dollar MSAs, and managed a $10M portfolio that exceeded targets by 32%. I was honored to receive Rookie of the Year recognition at a Fortune 500 staffing organization and became the first professional in my division to earn all four performance bonuses in a newly established life sciences role.
While the numbers are rewarding, what matters most is what they represent: trusted partnerships, high-performing teams, and a reputation built on integrity, accountability, and follow-through. I have led successful teams, developed new markets, negotiated complex agreements, and helped clients solve critical business challenges by connecting them with the right talent and solutions.
My passion for life sciences is personal. Clinical trials have impacted my own family, reinforcing my commitment to helping organizations improve patient outcomes and advance healthcare innovation. It serves as a daily reminder that the work we do extends far beyond business results.
I thrive on building relationships, creating opportunities, and helping organizations grow from opening doors and navigating negotiations to developing long-term partnerships that drive sustainable success.
At my core, I believe business is about people. When clients, teams, and partners succeed together, meaningful impact follows.
As I often tell my daughter, when you find your passion, the rest will follow.
I welcome opportunities to connect with professionals across life sciences, clinical research, workforce solutions, and business development to exchange ideas, explore partnerships, and build relationships that create lasting value.
