these are 2 newly created roles. the company has gone through
growth over the last 5 years and the SVP has determined they need these 2 key
hires.

They can be based in either DesMoines, Iowa or
Wilmington, DE

the Delaware location is commutable from several different areas including PA,
southern NJ, and Maryland. Cost of living difference between NY are and DE is
approx 41%. In addition there is no state tax if you live in DE. They are open
to relocating the right person to either location.

This is a shared services division. They have 42 subsidiaries and most have
some of their own IT including desktop services. They serve as the
internal consulting arm to handle all claims, billing, underwriting,
centralized services, etc.....systems that support analyzing data. There is 330
employees in this division and 5 to 6000 overall in the 42 companies. The
divisions are small to mid size organizations and based primarily in the US and
a few globally including Canada and London. They also have approx 75 to 90
consultants spread at different locations.

Des Moines has approx 180 to 200 folks and approx 60 in Delaware.

Their model is not to take the place of all IT functions. This division has 2
locations including Iowa and Delaware. Most in Des Moines are Applications side
folks- development, PM, QA, Testing, Release Management. Very little
Infrastructure in Des Moines.
The DataCenter is in Wilmington, DE.- majority of servers housed there. Some DB
folks in each location as well as a smaller 3rd location in Minnesota.

This is a cost center division and the IT budget last year was 65 million.

Both VPs should have strategic background, budgetary responsibility, and some
structure. The culture is very project oriented. Subsidiaries receive
allocation based upon cost which is shared amongst the 42 companies.

The VP IT Infrastructure has 2 direct reports who are also VPs - one is over
DC/Operations/Wintel/Unix/SANS/Helpdesk and the other is over Networks/Databases/Telecomm.
Below them are Team leaders- it is a pretty flat organization.

For the VP Support Services- has a Director report to that is responsible for
Infrastructure Security, Disaster Recovery, Enterprise Monitoring Systems. The
other area is QA, Testing, Change Release Management, Compliance, Reporting.
The more important skill for this role is the QA side and Release Management
since one of the Directors is strong in the Security side. The person who leads
that is in DE.

Both positions can be located in either location.

The culture is very entrepenurial in nature-alot of personal accountability.
Subsidiaries are primarily small to mid size company feel.
Strategic in thinking- not hands on digging into technology today, but has come
from that background.

They are a business casual environment, but Iowa is a bit more business and DE
is more casual and informal.

Some of their other locations include Arizona, Florida, Dallas, and
Minneapolis. the Minnesota office is where the VP is over Networks, Database,
and Telco which will report to the VP Infrastructure.

Industry experience is not key for these roles. They are more interested in
folks who have worked in shared service environments or managed multiple
locations.

From an IT perspective- most of the products they use are buy and customize-
alot of their solutions are partnering with the business to customize.
Commonality and scalability- economies of scale is key......where do
commonalities make sense? They use base code tools that can be configured in
multiple ways.
The culture is very much innovative and creative. It is a very flat
organization with substantial growth over the past 5 years. traditionally they
dont have people managing people.

The culture is NOT process for process sake so someone who has worked in highly
process oriented cultures may not fair well. These roles will need to look at
where do controals and processes need to be put in place and than partner with
the other key peer roles and some remote business users to put in process and
controls. Right now they are somewhat unstructured and not highly process
driven.

LEADS:  Leo Pharma is interviewing - NJ

Posted by: "john sampson" jcsspike@yahoo.com   jcsspike

Sat Jan 30, 2010 9:51 am (PST)





Please see the article from the Star Ledger below. Candidates should send resumes and cover letters to recruitment. us@leo-pharma. com for positions that will be filled over the coming year. These positions will be the first to open:

1) Receptionist
2) Marketing Coordinator
3) Senior Product Manager/Portfolio Manager
4) Senior Manager or Director, Trade Relations
5) Senior Manager or Director, Managed Care
6) Sales Administrative Assistant

FRONT PAGE OF THE NJ STAR LEDGER - 1/20/10

Denmark-based Leo Pharma, already an international leader in dermatology and critical care with $1.2 billion in annual sales, announced on Tuesday it is launching its new U.S. affiliate and will base it in Parsippany.

"We are very excited about this," said John Koconis, president and CEO of the U.S. division, which will be known as Leo Pharma Inc. "Our vision is to become the No. 1 dermatology company in the world, and to do that, we need to establish in the U.S. market. The U.S. market is the largest pharmaceutical market in the world and is critical to our growth."
Leo Pharma U.S. will open its new headquarters at 1 Sylvan Way in an office park that includes the headquarters of many other international corporations, including Daiichi Sankyo and other major pharmas.

Koconis, who is relocating from the U.K. after leading the company's Dermatology Division, said that the company's move to Parsippany was motivated in part by the fact that so many pharmas have headquarters in the area, resulting in a rich talent pool of experienced human resources.

"We targeted New Jersey first and then Parsippany because we will have access to a lot of industry talent," Koconis said.

Koconis said that at present, the company is represented in the U.S. market by an outside contracted sales force, but that those jobs should be moved in-house by the end of the year. The business plan calls for about 25 office-based workers (marketing, product management operations, administration) and 75 field officers to be based in Parsippany by the end of 2010.
The company said potential job candidates can mail their inquiries to recruitment. us@leo-pharma. com

The U.S. operation initially will market the company's psoriasis franchise. Leo Pharma recently reacquired U.S. marketing rights for its branded psoriasis treatments - Taclonex, Taclonex scalp topical suspension, Dovonex cream and Dovonex scalp solution from Warner Chilcott for $1 billion.

The company has employed a contract sales force and began marketing and selling these products in the U.S. on Tuesday.

Leo Pharma also has a pipeline of several products in late-stage clinical studies for psoriasis, eczema and - through a recent acquisition of Peplin Inc. - actinic (solar) keratosis, a common precancerous skin lesion.

Founded more than 100 years ago, Leo Pharma is wholly owned by The Leo Foundation and is headquartered in Ballerup, Denmark. With a presence in more than 90 nations, Leo Pharma has more than 3,000 employees worldwide.

COMBINED DINNER MEETING
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
 
The ETP Network
 
On Tuesday evening, February 9th, there will be a combined dinner meeting for current members, alumni, and guests of Association of Women in Computing (AWC),  IT-Networking, MIS Network Associates (MNA), Monmouth Networking, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ), ETP Network, and Careers in Transition (CIT) at the Holiday Inn, Totowa, NJ.
 
The dinner meeting will include a presentation by Rod Colón on his ETP Network.
Networking is having resources at your disposal-people that you can call on to connect you to companies, individuals or information that you need to turn a "cold call" into a "warm call."  How do you develop such resources whether in transition or not?  On the 9th, Rod Colón, who has a real passion for networking, will tell you how.
ETP Network Founder and CEO Rod Colón has a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in today's global economy.  Rod shares his 24 years of experience as a corporate HR management insider, outside agency recruiter, professional networker, and career coach through a unique, common sense approach to networking and career management. His in-depth knowledge of international staffing, recruiting, and networking gives Rod a unique ability to coach and consult today´s professionals regarding the building and maintenance of their personal networks.
Rod uses his passion, energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to support others. He coaches professionals in the art of leveraging relationships that maximizes personal networking opportunities. Rod has also taken this hand-on approach to corporations that recognize that an organization´s bottom line success requires professionals to leverage internal and external networks.  Mastering the skills and techniques to effectively utilize these networks is critical and essential to the success of both the professional and their organization.
One of Rod´s passions is teaching at Georgian Court University.  He believes GCU is on the cutting edge educating woman on career management and networking. His 3-credit course has already had a tremendous impact on many of his former students in their academic and professional goals, and the way they each view their role as active managers of their careers.
Rod has been featured in Princeton Review, and has received numerous awards and recognition.  Rod is a graduate Georgian Court University and is a board member of the Georgian Court Alumni Association.
 
 
 
The schedule for the dinner meeting on February 9th will be:
 
-         6:00 pm - Registration, cash bar, and "speed dating"
-         6:45 to 7:15 Individual introductions with RSVP list reference - see below
-         7:00 pm - Dinner
-         8:00 pm - Rod Colón´s presentation with appropriate Q & A
 
Following our usual meeting format, after you have registered and added your resume, etc. to the handout piles, everyone will participate in a series of informal networking groups i.e. "speed dating", before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions.  Briefly, these informal groups last for approximately 5 minutes.  At the end of the 5 minutes, the groups disperse, and new ones are formed with different participants.  Suggested dialogues for the groupings will be provided at the registration desk.
 
There will be an opportunity to circulate up to 50 copies of your resume, personal bio, leads, or other appropriate material in a handout from the dinner.
 
The cost will be $45 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson by COB on February 8th at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470.  Checks should be made out to John. He can be reached at 973-248-3251. John´s email is jcsspike@yahoo.com. Reservations can also be made through Lizanne Fiorentino at adminedg@optonline.net.
 
An RSVP list of attendees will be created and used to facilitate your networking activity. Current or last work affiliation, email address, and membership organization should be included in your RSVP. If you are in transition, please include the names of three target companies and the kind of position(s) you are seeking. If you are currently employed, you should provide the name of your last three employers. The preliminary RSVP will be distributed to the recipients of the initial mailing of this announcement and to all those on the list the week end before the dinner meeting for editing and informational purposes.  A "final" numbered RSVP list will be available at the registration desk on the 9th and can be used as part of your general introduction ..."I´m # x on the RSVP list".
 
Since there will be walk-ins on the 9th,  the final RSVP list will be emailed to the attendees as quickly as possible after the 13th. A #ed RSVP  list will also appear on your name badge which will be available at the registration desk on the 26th.
 
We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on February 9th.  Their cost will be $60 without exception as well as for RSVP´s whose checks have not been received by COB on the Feb 8th. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.
 
Again, attendees should bring 50 copies of their bio/resume, leads or materials they wish to be included in the handout for the evening of February 9th.
 
If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 9th, volunteer to be a "Meeting Marshall".  Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details. We can use your help!!!
 
Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt. 46 Westbound in Totowa Park can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj    Traffic congestion at rush hour is substantial on Rt 46, so you should allow an extra half hour  to get to the Holiday Inn on the 9th.
 
Please join us for an evening of improving your attempts to build your personal network, great networking opportunities, and/or a chance to just catch up. Everyone should remember that personal networks are important whether in or out of transition.
