Speaking at NASP 2025: What Pharmacies Need to Know About Private Equity
I’m honored to share that I’ve been invited to speak at the 2025 National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP) Annual Meeting & Expo, taking place September 14–17 in Denver, Colorado.

Whether you’re actively exploring a transaction or simply planning for long-term growth, this session will provide practical strategies and real-world insights.

Speaking at NASP gives me the chance to share what I’ve learned and to help more independent pharmacies take control of their future with confidence and clarity.
If you’ll be attending NASP 2025, I’d love to connect. Whether you’re considering a sale, looking for operational support, or want to better understand the market trends shaping our industry, this session is for you.
