Senior Director Insights to Impact – Jason Bryant
Jason has operated in the pharmaceutical industry for more than twenty-five years, fulfilling both client-side and solution provider roles at local and regional levels.
This scope of experience underpins Jason’s capability to hold joined-up conversations across functions, cultures and geographies, facilitating and realising robust solutions between cross-functional stakeholders and vendors in the “go to market” context.
Jason is recognised for his intense focus on solution delivery, pragmatic approach and naturally collaborative manner with clients, colleagues and external providers. He is motivated to deliver rapid yet robust, scalable and flexible capabilities, removing barriers and building alignment along the way. Jason always asks, “What’s in it for the field teams?”, as a decisive test of proposed solutions (whether these are process, people or technology centric).
Prior to joining SkyBlue Healthcare, he has delivered end-to-end “CFE” (Customer Facing Excellence) and business growth capabilities in two rare disease startup companies, both from scratch. An evolving omnichannel approach and hybrid “rep as orchestrator” HCP engagement models were developed, backed by comprehensive CRM, field operations and analytics tools, to meet the specific needs of integrated patient-centric cross-functional field teams. Geographically these roles covered the EU geography with close links to the USA headquarters operation.
Jason’s very recent healthcare consulting experience (at Uptake) has equipped him with additional facilitation and content creation skills, most of which have been in the omnichannel and ‘GTM’ domains working with large pharma clients. Adding these skills to his naturally technical and pragmatic abilities ensures Jason can immerse himself in a wide range of client requirements.
Jason would describe himself as practical, approachable, solution-focused, detail-orientated, and unafraid of the tougher challenges, leveraging his tenacity and sense of humour to help get things done. He thrives on the mutual achievement of impactful outcomes for patients, caregivers, teams and companies, and enjoys having some fun along the way if possible.
