All About Thought Leader Liaison

E230 • Nov 5, 2024 • 30 mins

This weeks guest is Jim Hahn, Senior Business Director, Thought Leader Engagement at EMD Serono who discusses the role of the Thought Leader Liaison and how it fits into the pharma world.

Key Points

  • Thought leader liaisons (TLLs) focus on building deep, strategic relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs) to align commercial objectives with the needs of healthcare providers.
  • TLLs typically come from successful sales backgrounds and do not require advanced scientific degrees, but must have strong interpersonal skills and a thorough understanding of their therapeutic area.
  • Effective communication between TLLs, MSLs, and sales reps is crucial to ensure seamless interactions with healthcare professionals and to avoid conflicts over access and time.
