Sara Handa Medical Device Sales Professional
  • October 24, 2021

I am grateful to work as a Territory Manager within the Prostate Health Division of Boston Scientific where I get to make a difference in the lives of patients every day. I have been able to build relationships with urologists and other key decision-makers in DC, VA, and MD over the past 3 years. I won P-Club in 2020 (ranked #2 out of 24 reps nationally) and won a regional sales role-play competition against both field sales associates and territory managers in May 2021. I was recently promoted and am looking to develop my career by exploring roles in marketing, strategy, business development, product management, etc. to become a well-rounded leader in the future.
