Most people in pharmaceutical sales would never take a pay cut. Especially not to start over. In this episode of the Medical Sales Podcast, I sat down with Stéphan Toupin to unpack one of the boldest transitions in the industry. He left a successful pharma career to step into medical device distribution. More risk. Less stability. But far more freedom and upside. This was not a smooth transition. Divorce. A move from Canada to the United States. Starting from scratch. And building something of his own with no guarantees. Here’s what we get into: - The real differences between pharma and medical device - Why distribution can offer unlimited upside for the right person - What most people misunderstand about the U.S. medical device market - What it actually takes to build something from the ground up - Why freedom mattered more than salary in his decision Stéphan also shares how his company now helps foreign manufacturers enter the U.S. market.
