Our guest is Robert Fukui. After obtaining his Bachelor's degree in Business with a concentration in Marketing from San Jose State University, Robert got his first sales job with the local Coca-Cola distributor straight out of college.
After almost three years with Coca-Cola, he transitioned to the pharmaceutical industry, where he spent another 19 years with two major pharmaceutical companies in various types of sales, marketing, and training positions. He first worked for Novartis Pharmaceuticals and now most recently has spent 17 years with Bristol-Myers Squibb, one of the largest biopharmaceutical companies worldwide and among the industry leaders in HIV, Immuno-science and Oncology. Over the course of his professional career, he has been privileged to be instrumental in the launch of six major brands, responsible for over $150 million in revenue and a recipient of national sales and leadership development awards. His successful experience in product marketing through ever-changing economic conditions has positioned him to be able to assist local organizations to achieve sales success in any economic environment.
