Bio
Dana Edwards
Sandy is a true asset. She is hard working, thorough, and very vested in her work such that she always goes above and beyond to ensure that she is providing the best service to her internal and external customers. I've had the pleasure of working with Sandy for the last several years during which time I have lead a sales organization and Sandy has been the lead for all contracting of my organization's products. This task has provided many challenges since my team was the first to sell clinical SaaS technologies at IQVIA (at the time IMS Health) so the then current contract templates and processes were not aligned to our organization's needs. Sandy worked closely with sales and products from our organization to understand what was required and to develop and implement new templates and processes. Her efforts lead to significant reductions in the overall contracting time and in the number redlines with customers.

I worked closely with Sandra for 8 years while at IMS Health. Sandra is dedicated, detail-oriented, and extremely bright. She routinely managed to juggle several competing priorities at any given time while meeting deadlines. She constantly developed new skills and successfully handled new challenges. It was always reassuring to know that Sandra was assigned to a deal. Sandra would be a tremendous asset to any team.
