Philips is a terrific fit

Clinical dentistry just wasn't right for me. I discovered this after completing dental school and graduate courses. So I went into professional sales - developing relationships with dental offices - for Sonicare.

Then Philips acquired the company. From the beginning, I knew it was a terrific fit!I enjoy the opportunities and learning experiences associated with working for such a large, diverse, and multi-focused organization.

Truthfully, the most challenging part of my job is moving into new markets. I love determining where the "sweet spot" is in each market, and aiming to duplicate our successes elsewhere. Winning is very rewarding - but it also means new challenges. After all, everyone expects the next venture to be even more successful.

To relax, our team gets out several times a year, organizes parties, and participates in fun "team-building" activities. I also enjoy running and physical fitness, playing guitar (and attempting to play golf).

The exposure to other cultures and markets has really helped me to broaden my horizons. It is an experience I believe will help me in my both my professional and personal life.
