Heard last night from 2 people in the industry Bob R is joining Galdema or Valeant. That's a nightmare if he works for Galderma -the job Paul Navaro was going into but didn't? Anyone else hear about that? Didn't see him or hear he came by the booth, so am hoping it's just a rumor.

Glad to be leaving Orlando what a PITA it is to get around and there is nothing to do!
 




Bob Rhatigan??!! That would suck %$#! If it's true why isn't BS all over trying to get him back here?

Maybe he already is but if he's not he should be the next acquisition target!!!! Having worked in several divisions with the longest being in facial, Bob Rhatigan and Mike Ball are the only 2 execs I was very sorry to see leave. I still have customers asking about Bob - the dude is a class act all the way and smart as hell!
 




That's not good news to hear.
That's the biggest understatement on this site all year!!!! I bet it's Galderma. Why would he go to Valeant? Are they getting back into aesthetics? I've heard from several customers and a Obagi rep they are trying to sell the business- she hates it and says the company sucked ever since Valenat bought them.
 








Because maybe Bobs not interested in coming back since we were bought.
definitely could be the case. as ex-allergan I can testify there are great opportunities outside of allergen and I was not as happy with my job or manager as I am now at a competitor. Still have many friends at allergan, but am happy to have moved on to a better company.
 








I heard galderma is an awesome company
There a good company, customers like them, strong on the Rx Derm side, Bob would be a huge add to their aesthetic area. Wouldn't be a good thing for us, but he is a great guy and will do great wherever he goes, hopefully with us instead of someone else! Lots of changes and rumor going on, that would be a positive one to see. Cool guy, great leader, smart as a whip, and his wife is very cool- met her at a couple of leadership trips. My wife was in pharm sales at the tiem and was super impressed with both of them. Pretty strong sign of how the guy is viewed that even the usual CP haters haven't jumped all over him...

Big Hawaii meeting is going on this week, anyone heard anything there?

BR is a great guy except for the part he played in helping R Grant dup millions out of physicians. Not sure what that says about his ethics or judgement. Maybe it was just a revenge play against AGN.

Whatever bs you want to believe, you need to be fairly flawed to have joined that carnival.
 


Bob left there a while ago and from what I hear he was the guy keeping the place together while Robert G was soliciting money and acting like the crazy person he is. One of my biggest customers is an investor and said he pretty much wrote them off after Bob left which is how I know he did.

Dude you are way off the reservation on this one. I have known BR well for over 10 years and the guy is integrity all the way, no ethics issues or flaws. RG is a whole different story...
