Don’t be impressed. I have been an SVP for several years now and my last title was Chief Technical Officer. I’m just another Mopar guy who happens to have 30+ years of pharmaceutical experience and gets paid the going rate for my knowledge and expertise. I started my career creating and owning a custom auto Upholstery shop for 6 years before I decided to pursue a career in science and technology.
It doesn’t make me anything special, it just pays well.
