Responsible for the planning and execution of sanofi-aventis U.S. cardiovascular medical activities. This involves collaboration with various organization functional areas including but not limited to health outcomes research, medical information, medical education, pharmacovigilance, managed market, field medical liaison, and most important, marketing. I lead the strategic planning of U.S. medical activities and work with U.S. and global colleagues to ensure alignment of all functional areas with key business and medical objectives.
