Bob has a large network of industry relationships, as well as a very strong track record successfully managing businesses, delivering quality products, successfully interacting with the FDA, and generating attractive growth through expanding market share and launching exciting new products. Most recently, he was the President and CEO of Scientific Protein Labs (SPL), the US’s leading manufacturer of heparin and pancreatin. Recently, Bob sold SPL to a Chinese pharmaceutical company for 3 times the original purchase price and with milestone payments over the next several years could be as high as 5 times the original purchase price. Prior to SPL, Bob was President of Qualitest Pharmaceuticals, a leading manufacturer and distributor of generic pharmaceuticals. He joined Qualitest in early 2010 with the specific charge to grow the business at a quicker pace. In less than one year, monthly net sales increased by over 50 percent. In late 2010, Qualitest was acquired by Endo Pharmaceuticals for $1.2 billion or 15 times EBITDA.

As Vice President and General Manager of Watson/Schein’s solid dose division, after correcting a number of quality and regulatory issues through a voluntary corrective action plan with FDA, the Company received 5 new product approvals. The launch of these products coupled with operational efficiencies resulted in an improvement of profitability in one year by $60 million which was instrumental in Schein being acquired by Watson.
