The South Asian Pharmaceutical Council (SAPC) was delighted to host our Summer 2025 Networking Reception and Fireside Chats.
Our two expert panelists were Sunil Verma and Milton Goggans. Dr. Verma began his career as a Medical Oncologist, dedicating 15 years to helping patients with breast and lung cancer. As an internationally recognized researcher and educator, he is passionate about mentoring future leaders in cancer care. In his role at AstraZeneca, he values the opportunity to drive a scientific and evidence-based approach to cancer care that maintains a patient-centric focus.
Milton is a decorated US Army veteran who began his career in the healthcare industry as a Sales Rep at Johnson & Johnson. He worked up through the ranks and later moved to Bristol-Myers Squibb. After nearly 34 years, Milton retired from his position as SVP of Primary Care Sales and established Goggans Consulting Services, where he focuses on sales force effectiveness, leadership development programs, and strategic account management.
The fireside chats, “Blueprints for Success: Building a Future in Pharma,” illuminated each speaker’s unique journey in the pharmaceutical industry.
