In her role as Vice President of Sales, Julie Griggs offers CHOU2 PHARMA the insights and knowledge gained throughout her career in veterinary medicine.
After serving pets and their families as a certified veterinary technician, Ms. Griggs went on to become a practice manager for a veterinary group with a portfolio of more than 1,000 neighborhood hospitals across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. From there she transitioned into pet pharmaceutical management and sales, holding key positions in top companies including Zoetis, Covetrus, Antech Diagnostics and LexaGene.
Along the way, Ms. Griggs witnessed the growing desire for high-quality natural pet solutions. Her position at CHOU2 PHARMA gives her the opportunity to help answer that need. Leveraging her experience with the inner workings of hospitals, she connects with the veterinarians and distributors who select the right products to offer their clients and patients. She works with hospitals and clinics to market and sell CHOU2 PHARMA formulas, and always enjoys the chance to introduce our brand to new people through trade shows, lunch-and-learns and other outreach programs. Working on retail placement is another way Ms. Griggs works to ensure our products reach the pets who need them most.
