Pros
My time at Stryker taught me how to thrive in high-pressure hospital environments, build trust with surgeons and executives, navigate complex health systems, and win competitive business through responsiveness, clinical credibility, and relentless territory ownership.
Cons
My biggest growth area is that while I have extensive experience navigating complex hospital systems and selling in high-pressure clinical environments, I haven’t yet directly sold large capital imaging equipment with multi-year budgeting cycles. One challenge in my current role is that Stryker does not provide a company car or cover gas directly, so with a large South Florida territory there’s significant wear and tear on your personal vehicle. That said, the experience taught me how to manage a demanding territory efficiently, stay organized, and remain highly accountable.
