Selections were made on the basis of how honorees inspire and motivate people around them; their innovation and ability to develop breakthrough strategies, products and services; their influence as corporate leaders and their positive impact on the pharmaceutical industry.
“This is a great tribute to the TGaS Advisors team,” said Gerard. “Their creativity, collaborative work ethic and camaraderie inspire and motivate me every day.” TGaS Advisors provides pharmaceutical industry clients with benchmarking, peer-to-peer, advisory and business planning support designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations function. The firm works with the majority of the top 50 pharmaceutical firms.
Gerard founded TGaS Advisors in 2004 with the goal of reinventing the way advice is given, particularly in commercial operations, the critical support function for pharmaceutical sales, marketing and managed markets. Gerard developed the concept of collaborative, confidential peer-to-peer benchmarking, providing fact-based answers to the question, “How do other pharmaceutical companies do ‘it’?”® Unlike traditional consulting, TGaS Advisors works from the “outside in,” communicating peer-set findings exclusively to participants, presenting insights specific to each client and addressing strategy, tactics and optimal practices based on results and industry experience. TGaS Advisors does not syndicate its data or sell ancillary follow-on services.
TGaS Advisors provides operational benchmarking in sales and specialty sales (SOPs, SSOPs), marketing sciences (MSOPs), marketing (MOPs), Internet (IMOPs) and relationship marketing (RMOPs), compliance (COPs) and managed markets (MMOPs). Additional benchmarks are developed in response to client needs. In 2007, TGaS Advisors created The Annual State of Commercial Operations Benchmark (TASCOPs) to give commercial operations leaders a macro view of the operations landscape.
