New Sales Leader

word is it is an amgen sales leader that our president worked with at amgen for many years, i've heard this from two in house staff, any confirmations? supposedly being announced next week?

 

this is not true, several in house people wanted it but were turned down, it's someone from another industry completely and that are starting at the end of august, they will likely clean house either way

 

It is an Amgen person and they are a sales vp over there and have been for a few years, he just resigned so the announcement should be coming soon, he worked with our president for a few years while they were there together

 

Not true. Word has it thar our new sales leader was a former DSI exec who left awhile ago and will be returning.

 

Resigned or laid off? Not that is matters.

Yup!!! This is true...initials are JL!!! True story"

 

it is amgen person and his initials are not jl, fomer ds staff at amgen know him and spoke highly of him, said he was straight shooter and decent person and someone who cares about sales teams

 

Oops sorry! Initials are RL!

 

RL. Initials..

 

RL

 

amgen person here, we've heard rl is joining ds, he resigned two weeks ago but is still working which is really unusual for amgen, he is highly regarded and trusted and everyone was very sad to see he was leaving, he's a true leader and people would follow the guy anywhere, if he's joining you you will be very happy

 

True! KK and RL are rock stars! They are a super team consider yourselves very lucky. They still have both a business sense and a conscience. People will follow if they can

 

I heard the same thing from someone at Amgen. I wouldn't be surprised if its true

 

It is RL and Amgen sure is losing a wonderful leader who really cares about his people. Sad to see him go. W

 

you have two of our best with KK and RL, very sad day for all who worked for Rob today, made a huge difference for the people and the business, got rid of all the low performers and promoted all the great ones, if you're good you're in great shape, if you're bad find a new job or he'll do it for you

 

It's Rob Lisicki and he is a wonderful leader. I would follow him in a heart beat should a position become available.

 

He has a lot of shit to have to sift out at this hell hole. Start in the specialty division in the Southeast.

 

there's a line of people at Amgen that would go to work and battle for this guy tomorrow, he will get rid of the bad, take care of the producers, is always available, listens, is incredibly transparent and actually knows what it takes to sell, i don't know what your previous leader was like but rob is a really special leader

 

Well he will have to spend some time in that Atlanta regional office starting with the specialty director and Atlanta specialty group. Plenty of shady stuff to keep him busy for a while.

 

what happened to Bill M?
