Bio
Lanie Thomure
I have known and worked with Charlie for the past 12 years and am proud to call him not only a colleague, but a friend. His keen intellect, coupled with his compassion for humanity (and his willingness to act on that compassion) make him a truly unique individual. He has a finely honed talent for bringing together divergent personalities, skill sets and thinking from a multiple of disciplines and securing a successful outcome of any endeavor he undertakes. And, oh yea, let's not forget he knows just a little about the pharma industry (actually a lot); having been an integral member of the teams that launched and managed many of the countries most successful and well known brands over the past 20 years. I unequivocally recommend Charlie Russell! You'll be happy you had the opportunity to work with, or just get to know him.
