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 Operations and Oncology Services. My teams ran acute care, cancer center, infusion, and emergency department pharmacy across five facilities (two hospitals, two cancer centers, and an infusion center), about a hundred staff, a $60M+ 340B program, a $50M+ oncology service line, and the regulatory burden that comes with all of it.
I know what it's like to walk into a 340B audit unprepared. I know what it's like to convert wholesalers in the middle of a workflow crisis. I've prevented DEA audits and navigated NJ Board of Pharmacy inspections to a 100% pass rate. I know the cost of doing nothing.
That's why I do this work. Walters Rx Strategy is built for clients who need outcomes, not slide decks. Leaders who want a colleague in the room, not a vendor pitching a framework.
I'm Apexus Advanced 340B Certified, an MBA, and a published author. My first book, The Modern Pharmacist's Playbook, is a complete personal finance and wealth-building system for pharmacists navigating six-figure student debt and lifestyle inflation. 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.
