678 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine SCIENCES, PHARMACEUTICALS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY Scientist and entrepreneur Mark A. Cullison has driven innovation in the health care industry for more than 20 years as a leader for some of the sector’s biggest names, including Merck, Bayer and Teva Pharmaceuticals. He developed his relentless work ethic and ambition to succeed as a child and was exploring careers in health care by the age of ten, shadowing a local pharmacist at work. An alum of North Carolina State University, he holds a BS in biochemistry and microbiology and an MS in food science, and in 2009 he achieved an MPH at Drexel University. Though he began his career in the food industry, publishing his master’s thesis and earning a 2000 Food Science Chapter of the Nation Award, Mr. Cullison had moved into health sciences by 2003 as a senior scientist for Merck. He spent the next decade with Merck, serving as a state health policy manager before being named an associate director of marketing in 2012. After excelling in director-level roles at both Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Taiho Oncology Inc., he returned to Merck as global marketing director for Keytruda, an immunotherapy cancer treatment developed in 2016, and Lynparza, a prostate cancer drug; he considers both projects to be among the highlights of his career. Between 2019 and 2023, Mr. Cullison held several executive leadership roles at Teva Pharmaceuticals, beginning as head of the company’s United States specialty pharmacy marketing operations and later becoming the head of specialty brands for the United States market. Since 2023, Mr. Cullison has offered clients his expertise in strategic marketing, product planning and portfolio review on an independent basis as the managing director of CullCo Consulting. His work on industryshaping projects — including the HPV vaccine Gardasil and the first-line multiple sclerosis treatment Copaxone — left him with a finely-tuned sense of industry needs and a proper understanding of the demands of the product development cycle. As he builds his consulting practice, Mr. Cullison hopes to continue fostering change and having a positive impact on his industry and the patients it serves. MARK A.
