Bio
Serrah Linares
Bret and I have been working collaboratively the last 2 years to create and improve the learning programs at Pharmacy OneSource. During that time I have been continuously impressed with his leadership, innovative ideas, and follow-through. As a result we now have a repeatable sales training process that allows us to quickly and efficiently on-board new hires, provide ongoing product training, and record/share on the fly training content through our LMS platform. It's my pleasure to recommend Bret for any role in leading or creating training and learning programs.

Bret continues to impress me with his demeanor, bearing and determination to persevere and bring continuous improvement to our institution, customer satisfaction and employee well being.
