I worked with Bernie many years ago and have crossed paths him several times since in different roles for BMS. I know Bernie to be a great people person that is also very well rounded in his background for the pharmaceutical business. He has been successful in many roles that I'm aware of, including bulk manufacturing, engineering and maintenance as well as operational excellence. I would highly recommend Bernie for nearly any executive role in the pharmaceutical business because of his vast experience and his great people skills.

Bernie is an outstanding executive and proved to be a great leader when managing our pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Mexico. He is not only driven, self-motivated and results oriented, but also quite good at building the type of solid business relations and networks that help companies grow businesses in the long term. I always found him to be straight-forward and transparent when discussing any issue. I would gladly work again with Bernie anytime.
