Having over three decades of professional experience, what pushes you forward today as an industry leader? What is your motivation?
Being able to lead the Dermatology portfolio at Eris Oaknet Healthcare bringing together a variety of experiences and skill sets to set up teams and then watching those teams achieve their goals acts as the greatest motivation. It also keeps motivating me to improve how we operate things and drive my teams to achieve bigger objectives. It is extremely satisfying to look back at our growth journey and how we made it to be ranked among the top 10 dermatology companies in our covered market with four of our derma brands being ranked amongst the top five in their respective segments.
How would you define Eris Oaknet Healthcare as an organization? What is your approach to the quality management of your products?
We are one of the fastest-growing and most prominent players in dermatology. This is due to the kind of brands and equity we have brought into dermatology over some time. We have been able to develop new theories in dermatology with our innovative brands in skincare and cosmecare which have created a great impact on the minds of dermatologists and built a strong image of our brands in the market.
At Eris Oaknet Healthcare, our priority is our quality products. That’s why we are committed to continuous improvement be it in our processes, manufacturing techniques, research methodology, or products. Our Quality Management System provides a framework for measuring and improving our performance across multiple variables.
