Nicole de Rosa - Account Manager (MSD)

What’s your name, and what graduating class were you from?

Nicole de Rosa, 2018

What do you do at the moment?

Account Manager MSD Animal Health

What did your pathway look like, and how did you get your current job?

Looked at industry jobs as I wasn’t enjoying clinical work. Opportunities to also be regional account leaders, enter national accounts teams and also veterinary advisor positions.

Why did you choose to move away from clinical work?

Too much stress- nothing dies in my job. Understanding of the veterinary industry from a vets position.

What is the best part of the job?

Interacting with clients and educating them on products

This job may not be for you if…

You don’t like interacting with people, analysing data and trends in sales, speaking to small groups of people e.g. CPD for a team of vets

Do you have any words of wisdom for other alumni?

Don’t think that being a vet is the be all end all- at the end of the day a job is a job (being a vet is not your life) and we all work to have money so we are able to do the things we enjoy.
