Apexus Advanced 340B Certified. Author of The Modern Pharmacist's Playbook. PharmD, MBA. I'll show up like a colleague who's built the thing — not a consultant who'll sell you a deck.
Four kinds of engagements. Whichever one fits, I'll keep deliverables short and the work honest.
Program on autopilot. CFO asking questions. Grantee buying a contract pharmacy. Money leaking somewhere. I've worked both sides, grantee and covered entity, in-house and contract pharmacy. I'll tell you what's working, what's leaking, and what to do.
You've decided to build or scale specialty pharmacy. You don't have eighteen months for a feasibility study. In two weeks I'll tell you whether the math works. If it does, you get a plan. If it doesn't, you save the buildout.
Interim leadership, turnaround, or executive advisory when your pharmacy is in trouble. Drug diversion incident. USP 800 inspection failure. DSCSA non-compliance. Oncology service line bleeding money. I've fixed each of these. I won't pretend the work is harder than it is.
Pharmacist. Executive. Author. Now consultant. I'll share what I learned. What I would have done differently. Who to listen to. Who to ignore. How to position for the role you actually want.
Hi, I'm Robert.
I spent fifteen years inside a New Jersey health system, most recently as Senior Director of Pharmacy and Oncology Infusions. The teams I led covered acute care, the cancer center, infusion, and emergency department pharmacy across a multi-site system — roughly a hundred people, a nine-figure drug-spend portfolio, one of the larger 340B programs in the region, and the full regulatory weight that comes with all of it.
I know what it's like to walk into a 340B audit underprepared. I know what it's like to convert wholesalers in the middle of a workflow crisis. I've carried pharmacy operations through DEA inspections with zero findings and New Jersey Board of Pharmacy surveys with no deficiencies cited. And I know the quiet cost of doing nothing — the reimbursement that leaks, the audit exposure that compounds, the service line that bleeds while everyone waits for permission to fix it.
That's the work I do now. Walters Rx Strategy is built for leaders who need outcomes, not slide decks — people who want a colleague in the room who has actually run the thing, not a vendor pitching a framework.
I'm Apexus Advanced 340B Certified, hold an MBA, and wrote The Modern Pharmacist's Playbook — a personal-finance system for pharmacists carrying six-figure debt into a six-figure salary. The book I wish someone had handed me on graduation day.
Most pharmacy consultants leave you with a sixty-page slide deck. I leave you with three things to do Monday.
I built cleanrooms. I converted wholesalers. I stood up diversion programs. I sat across the table from HRSA. So when we talk, I'm not reading a framework off a slide — I'm telling you what I'd actually do, and what I'd skip.
Your team is already drowning in documents. What you need is the next decision, the next conversation, the next fix. That's what I deliver — short, plain English, and built so your team can act on it without translation.
No junior associates ghostwriting the report. No layered teams. No partner-on-paper, associate-in-practice routine. The person you talk to is the person doing the work. If we engage, I'm in the room.
The first 30-min call is on me. Tell me what you're working on. If I can help, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too — and I'll point you to someone who can.
