01 / The Challenge
What was happening?
Pharmacist supply was constrained, while recurring vacancy-based recruiting produced inconsistent results.
02 / The Diagnosis
What I saw differently.
The durable answer was to build an earlier, geography-specific talent pipeline rather than compete repeatedly for the same scarce candidates.
03 / Strategy & Execution
Built the pipeline deliberately
- Created a formal intern hiring plan with geography targets.
- Expanded campus outreach and established monthly accountability for progress and development.
04 / Impact
What measurably improved.
- Built the second-highest pharmacy intern pipeline in the chain, behind Puerto Rico.
- Created a more predictable source of future pharmacist talent.
Executive signal
“I build pipelines rather than repeatedly compete for scarce talent.”
