Robert was in charge of International
Business Development for 18 months. Within a very short period he was
able to expand our international markets and contracted distributors
in 12 countries. He has proven his long-term experience and expertise
by expanding our company's presence in major markets and creating brand
awareness amongst international KOLs. His medical and technical
background, clinical knowledge and ability to listen to the needs of
the markets are second to none.

We engaged Robert Barzelay to identify,
evaluate and recommend distributors in Europe. His assessments were
outstanding. As a result we contracted distributors in several
countries, and established our European office in Geneva.

I know Robert from the 1980s when he lived in Singapore and managed Serono's business in Asia. He appointed Serum Institute as Serono's exclusive distributor for India. With Robert's professional help we launched Serono’s products throughout India. Decennia later we engaged Robert as consultant to scout for innovative vaccines and delivery systems in Israel. I highly recommend his expertise.
