Abby Thompson has over a decade of experience in building and managing sales organizations within healthcare. She has developed these skills by holding positions with large corporations, such as Humana and Kindred Healthcare, running large physician practices, and building healthcare startup companies. With her solution-oriented approach, Abby has a proven ability to understand emerging business opportunities and solve sales development challenges in various healthcare markets. She has also acquired the ability to anticipate the need for operational changes and establish strategic partnerships to ensure stability in an ever-changing healthcare environment.
From 2013-2015, Abby excelled as an Account Executive and Director of Operations for Elitemed Health. She led and managed the contract sales account education, implementation, and onboarding for 4 retail and compounding pharmacies, and 5 clinical laboratories. At the start-up Elitemed Health, Abby developed and executed sales training and implementation protocols and successfully grew the facility’s revenue by over $30 million in annual sales within the first 3 years. This growth consisted of over 40 contract and employed sales members, account managers, and over 300 new clients.
Abby has consistently demonstrated the ability to build and manage a sales organization that delivers growth in top-line revenue. Notably, she has acquired the financial acumen to deliver bottom-line profitability as well. When she transitioned into her role as Vice President in 2016, she was able to increase the overall profit margin by 15%. Her guiding principle in accomplishing this was educating the sales and business development teams that “not all business is good business”, and developing monitoring tools to understand the profitability of individual accounts and implement changes to increase profitability. These changes focused on reducing unnecessary costs, educating clients on medical necessity to increase reimbursement success, and implementing sales incentives based on growth and overall profitability,
With Abby’s detailed understanding of healthcare sales and operational practices, she has driven multiple acquisitions and company exists to continue market growth and company diversification. With these acquisitions, she continues to develop streamlined processes that not only make the operational aspects of business efficient, effective, and compliant, but the integration into physician practices seamless. Her transition as Chief Executive Officer for DANA Brain Vital allows her to utilize her experience in sales and operations to establish a sales team focused on account growth and sustained profitability.
