Fred Rapp, PharmD

Medical Affairs Professional | Specializing in Research, Development, and Commercialization of Novel Therapeutics within Hematology and Oncology

Greater Chicago Area

I am a licensed pharmacist, with a PharmD earned from Midwestern University. Throughout my 20+ year career, I have managed and led teams to provide medical information, research, and educational support to local, regional, and national partners including healthcare providers, academic institutions, and industry leaders.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE: I began my career as an MSL and quickly progressed to assume leadership capacity over various regions. This early experience laid the foundation for me to be able to fully understand the roles of the teams I now lead. From there, I transitioned into larger leadership roles within hematology, oncology, and medical affairs, eventually becoming the Executive Director, Head of Hematology MSLs & MSL Training with Bristol-Meyers Squibb. I also possess extensive experience with clinical trials, educational programs, M&A activity, and compliance.

MY LEADERSHIP STYLE: I am a servant leader who encourages open communication, collaboration, and teamwork to develop and execute strategic plans. Throughout my career, I have consistently built high-performing teams by recruiting top industry talent to support groundbreaking research and innovation. I am consistently willing to share my expertise for the professional advancement of others, which in turn strengthens multiple aspects of the organization as a whole.

WHAT SETS ME APART: I have significant launch experience spanning approximately 30 new molecular entities/label extensions across various hematologic (Multiple myeloma, AML, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma) and oncologic (breast, lung, ovarian, colon) malignancies.

➤ CONTACT ME: I am open to professional networking opportunities via LinkedIn.
