"One of the reasons Stryker is so appealing to me is because of the opportunity for talented individuals to move up in the organization. To me, the next logical step after defining my value within the field sales organization is to take my territory management skills to a regional level. I am continually seeking leadership opportunities that allow me to grow my skillset and broaden my understanding of management. It makes me a better territory leader and will prepare me for a future as a Regional Director very soon."
