David joins QuicksortRx after five years at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where he served as Commodity Manager for Pharmaceutical Sourcing, managing nearly $1 billion in annual drug and supply procurement. At Ohio State, he worked closely with the 340B team to ensure compliance, coordinated purchasing across University and Cancer Hospitals, and led readiness efforts for DSCSA compliance. David was also deeply engaged in supply chain optimization initiatives through Vizient, positioning OSU’s pharmacy operations for long-term efficiency.
Before his time at Ohio State, David spent five years at OhioHealth as Pharmacy Procurement Manager, where he managed over $200 million in annual pharmaceutical spend and led a team of 14 sourcing administrators across a 12-hospital system. His efforts included advancing inventory management practices, negotiating manufacturer agreements, and overseeing procurement for inpatient, infusion, and retail pharmacy operations.
David’s career in pharmacy procurement began after a transition out of retail management with Walgreens, where he spent six years in high-volume operations across Columbus and Chicago. His early exposure to both pharmacy and leadership in a retail setting sparked a passion for pharmacy supply chain, which ultimately led him to expand into dialysis program management with DaVita Dialysis, and later into hospital pharmacy procurement and sourcing.
“I’ve spent the past ten years on the other side of pharmacy operations, navigating drug shortages, regulatory compliance, and multi-million-dollar procurement responsibilities. Having used QuicksortRx myself at Ohio State, I know firsthand how powerful this tool is. In fact, I went from wondering why we needed it to realizing within a month that it uncovered opportunities we never could have handled on our own. I’m excited to now help other customers unlock those same advantages.”
