Dean Michelin
Corporate Account Manager
Dean joined STI in September 2010, returning to Halifax where he had started his pharma career 30 years earlier. As a very young man (a boy, in fact), upon graduating from Dalhousie, Dean began his career with three goals – to work at all levels of sales and marketing; to work in all therapeutic areas, and; to work in all provinces in Canada. Eight drug companies and two ad agencies later, he had done it, and was fortunate enough to be inducted into the Canadian Healthcare Marketing Hall of Fame in 2009.
For the next 30 years, Dean has one goal –to contribute to phenomenal growth of STI, and is hoping that he will get at least one goal with the star-studded STI hockey team.
