Gina D'Este

As a sales and account professional in the medical supply and pharmaceutical industry, Gina D'Este has driven revenue growth and territory expansion for several companies in Los Angeles, California. She most recently served as institutional account manager for Theravance Biopharma, where she secured three new contracts and converted five institutional contracts within a period of 90 days. Instrumental in developing contracts with hospital decision makers, Gina D'Este also proved successful in establishing influential thought leaders as unofficial promoters of the brand.
