Last week’s Viewpoint ended with a comment about looking away from the rearview mirror of 2022 and driving as fast as you can into 2023. What can we expect in 2023? Judging by all the things I read these last two weeks about the general economy, I have learned two things: one, no one really knows what will happen to the economy, and two, I am happy I studied animal science and not the dismal science, also known as the study of economics.
So, times are uncertain in 2023. And this is the topic for our panel of senior executives at our annual Industry Overview presented at the VMX conference in two weeks, and at WVC next month. We have an opportunity to learn from senior animal health company executives on “Managing Animal Health Companies in Times of Uncertainty.” Moderated by Brakke Consultant Paul Casady, we will hear from Scott Bormann, Sr. Vice President, North America, Merck Animal Health; Kurt Green, President and CEO, Vetsource; and Kevin Pohlman, COO, Patterson Companies.
Their insights into how they will manage moving from pandemic-complicated years to a year of inflation, possible recession, staffing shortages and client demands will be valuable to many in our animal health industry. Maybe with their help, we’ll all have a clean driving record in 2023.
