Testimonials

I had the pleasure to work with Jill to expand the reach of US pharma companies in Asia. Her expansive network of highly reputable and effective companies proved instrumental in identifying and developing new business opportunities. She uses her ability to understand both the product attributes and the market potential to develop new strategic operating models, to allow market access for companies without a direct market presence. She is skilled at negotiation and contracting to achieve the best outcome and sustainable relationships for the business partners involved.

I worked with Jill while at BMS in the Mature Products area, and much of the continued success in ensuring that the portfolio remains vital was possible because of Jill’s leadership. Her technical capabilities in business development or portfolio management or people development are unquestionably world-class. Now, Jill has started a new career in her own company, and the leadership qualities that Jill displayed at BMS will follow into a great new direction. Anyone who has the good fortune to seek her guidance in pharmaceutical lifecycle management will be met with a passionate champion of how to think about product development, asset growth and the sometimes necessary divestiture or discontinuation of a product. Whether you are in a start up with your first product or a senior executive in a well-established organization, Jill will help you make informed decisions in support of your asset’s lifecycle.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jill in her capacity as Mature/ Established Brands lead. During the approx. 5 years we worked as partners, Jill led the strategic direction and decision making for rationalization, simplification and optimization of the multi – therapeutic area and global portfolio. Jill’s ability to align cross functional and multi- regional leaders behind a common vision is role model.

I worked with Jill for two years as part of the BMS Company Transformation Program for which I served as Global PMO Lead and Jill served as Mature Brands Lifecycle Mgmt Workstream Lead. I was impressed by Jill as both a strategic leader and functional area expert, with the ability to apply her deep experience managing the lifecycle of established brands to the unique strategic environment faced by BMS. I found Jill to be a strong team leader able to manage a diverse and highly matrixed team toward the delivery of a challenging goal in a timely manner. Jill has strong program and project management skills, and was always highly accountable for the results of her team.

I supported Jill as a management consultant on a large transformational initiative at a large pharma in which she led the team to achieve all goals ahead of schedule with high quality. She is an expert in the area of Product Life-cycle and Portfolio Management including commercial and supply chain rationalization. She has strong leadership skills and is viewed as a “go-to” person when trying to accomplish difficult problems cross-functionally. Her style is energetic and engaging! She has a strong moral compass as well, which helps her to develop her staff and teams to achieve company objectives to their utmost ability.
