Alex Perez

I’m Alex Perez, Executive Key Account Manager, S. Florida. I am proud to be part of the Commercial Sales Team here at Octapharma USA — nothing beats being part of a world-class team and helping to deliver life-saving therapies in immunotherapy, bleeding disorders and critical care to patients who depend on them.

I love the entrepreneurial spirit of the company. Octapharma is a large, diverse, multicultural employer. Even though the company has been around for a long time and has grown consistently, it still manages to keep that “start-up” spirt alive. It shows up in the way we strive for constant improvement. What makes the company successful? We do! Everyone is encouraged to share their thinking and the company is always ready and willing to listen. Whether you’ve got ideas about better processes, new opportunities, how to improve efficiencies, or respond to challenges, you have an open forum. The final decisions may not always be the ones you were looking for, but you can be sure that your ideas will be welcomed and fully discussed. On the other hand, your perspective may just be instrumental to improving the way we do things here. So everyone is invited to speak up! It’s a great feeling to be heard and valued.

I have had many opportunities to add my thoughts on how to improve our operations. The most recent occasion was to take on the role of field trainer for my sales region. It has given me a reason share my “pearls of experience”. I have been listening to new employee challenges and helping them to find solutions. It has been incredibly rewarding to teach new sales colleagues our business processes and to participate in providing solutions that will help them build their overall success.

Are you thinking about joining our team? We are always looking for people who can provide ideas and solutions to our ever-growing organization. And we want people who are completely committed to always doing the right thing. This organization is not for everyone. You need some key values to be successful here. These include discipline and the ability to really listen to colleagues, customers, and other stakeholders. You need to be able to own and learn from your mistakes. And you need to have the will and persistence to make a difference every single day. If that sounds like you, welcome!
