Before his time at Dendreon, Sam was with Enterey for over 2.5 years, working as a Consulting Manager  and Account Lead. He is a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and currently resides in sunny San Diego.  Last year, Sam authored and published an article on the role of Project Portfolio Management in solving disruptions to projects. His input is timeless and includes references to the challenges faced by the Life Sciences industry as a result of our ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Sam’s insight provides valuable advice for operational leaders in the life sciences industry and we are very excited to feature the piece on Enterey’s own website.
