I think its been enjoyable not having a state of union. They are pointless leaders that have drove this eye care division right down the toilet
ABL’s are great but above them. They haven't a clue about eyecare and my doctors are asking “what is going on with NVS constantly” its radio silence from Novartis.
I’d love to know what they do with their days because its sure not calling on our KOLS like they were going to after they let go of the TLL’s.
Then they wonder why sales are tanking. We have a leadership team that has no idea how valuable our KOL’s are in the eyecare space. It’s a different world. A small world and these doctors talk and them not seeing whats going to happen to Xiidra leaves them uncertainty too especially since our coverage overall sucks. Offices are understaffed and hate doing PA’s. Its an extra step and this slows down their work time with follow up with the pharmacy and patients etc.
Throw that on top of an inexperienced eye care leadership team (RD’s and above) that doesn't help has taken this once good division to the crapper.
