When I was with Takeda, I reported Joe Kelly, who was under Roy Williams.
I can’t say they were bad managers, just kinda stuck in the past and a bit aloof and clueless to how the industry has changed the past decade.
Both had good hearts, caring people, but like everything else at that company just failed to adapt to changing times.
Can’t say anything bad about either, but they were there essentially to approve expenses, and remind you to synch veeva.
Didn’t feel like their fault, everything we were managed to was more about covering our own butt’s than advancing sales.
Upper management above them, seemed to be a real sales prevention force.
