My Experience

I created pricing, positioning, distribution and marketing strategies, as well as contract templates and rules and regulations for labUno, a sub-company with sole rights to distribute Aravind pharmaceuticals in Mexico. This fits in with the company’s mission because they were able to bring in the lowest priced pharmaceuticals to people they serve (and the rest of Mexico).

I also advised on creation and implementation of change management processes and company vision to help reduce employee turnover and highlight social impact.

What I learned in Org Change was extremely applicable to assisting with the change management process. I also used a lot of my skills from marketing to help price the products.

Some things weren’t in English (however Google translate helped a lot!).

That there are definitely opportunities for “doing well by doing good” in an organization. Also, start-ups are a lot of work and require a lot of tinkering in the beginning.
