Annette Powers… doomed leader

Quote




































Pricing at BMS is a grave yard. Look at all the leaders in the last year.Laurant, Tom, Fred, Stephen and Katherine, all gone. All of them left b/c nobody on the ELT listens to them but then blame them when things turn out bad.

Fred was nutjob. No one was sad to see him go. It was actually a good thing. Complete D-bag.
 




Powers getting this job seems very unlikely. Else Lurch would have given it to her right away. Word is that Boerner wants new talent in the access space and is personally involved in the hiring process. This may take sometime probably till 2025 to get the right candidate. She is chopped liver at this point.

So true. No amount of McKinsey can repair bad ELT acquisitions and contracting choices. Staff are lined up to get out. In one month…head of market access, head of HEOR and head of pricing jump ship. How should they explain that on the earnings call?

I can confirm this is accurate. She’s running around plugging holes in the barrel and they’re discard her later without a thought.

Funny how this has leaked. But this is very true. She is not a serious consideration for the role. At this juncture, Lurch may be on the skids as well. Chris is going to make decisions on access after the bumbling access decisions with Zeposia and Sotyktu. McKinsey is apparently aiding with this process.

I'm not sure who Miachel (or you probably meant Michael) is.....but I can assure you, I am not him. Not brown nosing, truth telling, even though people seem to not want to hear anything other than their own perceptions.....BMS has an access issue that many of us (Celgene/BMSers) understand from our previous histories; Adam, Chris B, Steve P (no longer here) etc - have no clue. Blockbusters like Opdivo, Eliquis, Orencia - don't teach you about what an access strategy needs to be to WIN. Hence Zeposia UC being dismantled and Sotyktu having a hard access climb. MAx can't work miracles in a market so competitive with unrealistic expectations. Many factors go into it, pricing, competition, biosimilars, and contracting (aka rebate walls) to name a few. We have to set realistic expectations, appropriate pricing, train the sales force on PUSH through tactics when access isn't there and PULL through tactics when it is, the HUB has to work flawlessly, etc. When the company overall doesn't want to train the sales teams on market access and only on clinical attributes - Houston, we have a problem, when there is no access due to market conditions. Annette knows way more about all of this - because she's lived it outside of BMS - than senior leadership. Yes, she's direct. Yes, she speaks her mind. I wish more people would do that so this organization could THRIVE during this trying time instead of SURVIVE. We keep making the same wrong decisions and expecting a different result.
