Chris Merriwether

Chris is the Chief Marketing Officer for Vertical Solutions and brings 20 years of Sales and Marketing experience in the Pharmaceutical Industry. His years of experience includes having worked with Novartis and UCB Pharma. Notable is his decorated path of accomplishments that include Institutional Excellence and numerous President Club awards throughout his career.

Christopher’s greatest strengths are his creativity, attention to detail, and drive. His most recent project involved a strategic marketing plan for a large educational consulting firm seeking to expand across the United States. The results of this aggressive plan yielded profits of over $30 million annually.

In 2010, he left the pharmaceutical industry to successfully start a nationwide distributorship, where he marketed various pain management products and devices to physicians. The 1st year’s annual profits exceeded revenue of $3 million. Profits quadrupled the 2nd year mainly due to an IT portal that he created that gave his company a unique competitive advantage by providing real-time snapshot data of sales activity.

Chris holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Mississippi State University.
