• Lead planning and execution of national, area, and regional field meetings, including launch and plan-of-action meetings, in partnership with Sales Leadership and Commercial Learning, Training & Development.

• Coordinate portfolio-level connectivity across field teams to support shared customers, launches, and evolving commercial priorities.

Congresses, Sponsorships and Speaker Bureau

• Lead a team responsible for the end-to-end commercial congress execution across the portfolio: planning, field deployment, customer engagement plans, on-site operations and post-congress follow-up.

• Oversee Speaker Bureau program operations, including speaker nomination and contracting, logistics, program execution, compliance and reporting.

• Oversee commercial sponsorships and congress operations, including budget, contracting and coordination with Legal and Compliance.

• Through the Associate Director, Portfolio Operational Excellence, lead operating standards, vendor governance, and continuous improvement for commercial programs within this role's remit; partner with Sales Operations & Analytics where field systems, analytics, operations, or program execution intersect.
