In this episode we speak with marketing executive Sander Flaum. Sander has run a number of pharmaceutical marketing firms, including bringing the firm of RSCG Becker to number two in the world and starting his own consultancy, Flaum Navigators. At one point in Sander’s career, he failed to receive a promotion to run Lederley Labs (now part of Pfiser) because members of the board thought that Sander’s stutter was a form of mental illness. Sander set out to be more successful than any of them. Join us to hear Sander’s attitudes, techniques, and practices that enabled him to achieve incredible success.
