We are the connectors of possible: Global Marketing Manager with ‘Anything is Possible” Mindset

Jon Jamison is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. He is certified as a rescue scuba diver. And he also happens to serve as a Global Marketing Manager for the Medication Management Solutions (MMS) business at BD.

Trained as a biomedical engineer at the University of California - San Diego, Jon has been with BD for about a year. Armed with not only his undergraduate degree, but also a master’s degree in biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University and a master’s degree in business administration from Cornell University, he started his career working as a product manager for a multinational company specializing in in vitro diagnostics, where he also was exposed to how large a footprint BD has all over the globe.

“I lived and worked in China for seven years and was frequently surrounded by BD products and solutions across the medical technology continuum. I knew BD had an outstanding reputation in the industry, within the markets it shapes, and ultimately alongside the customers and patients it serves…the BD logo was always there, always present during my first job in Shanghai, and it left a huge impression on me,” said Jon.

After his time in China, Jon moved back to the United States and took a role at another diagnostic solutions organization in San Diego supporting global marketing and product lifecycle management for an expansive portfolio of infectious disease testing solutions, before joining BD.

Passion for supporting pharmacists and the Med Tech industry

When Jon thinks about how he contributes to our Purpose of advancing the world of healthTM, he instantly calls out the ability to support innovative IV workflow solutions that assist pharmacists in compounding medications for patient care, which in turn helps make a significant impact on public health worldwide. He also said no two days are truly alike.

“Through both BD Pyxis™ PharmacyKeeper™ and BD PyxisTM IV Prep, I get to work with such a diverse cross-functional team, which is outstanding – and at a global level,” noted Jon. “R&D, Regulatory Affairs, Quality, Medical Affairs, Legal, Software and Hardware Engineering, you name it, and I work with them. I love that I get to help translate the science into reality from a marketing perspective to help pharmacists on the front lines supporting patients.”

His favorite part of the role by far is connecting with and working alongside BD colleagues day in and day out.

“It takes a group of really skilled and talented people to get such cutting-edge Med Tech solutions into the hands of our customers. I bring my best self to work every day because I know how important our role is and the lasting impact we can have on our industry. And I wake up every day thinking anything is possible as we look to new product innovations and ways to contribute to the future of healthcare,” said Jon.

Strong family influence on career

With a mother who worked as a pharmaceutical professional and a father who was a mechanical engineer, Jon says he was heavily influenced by both in terms of his career choice, which he appreciates. “My mom and dad helped shape my career choices, and my grandfather too. He encouraged me to learn a foreign language, so I committed to mastering Chinese, a language – and also a culture – that I care deeply about and have been able to utilize in my career.”

Jon explained that his wife is from China, and they celebrated their daughter’s first birthday earlier this year during Chinese New Year. “I do miss living and working in China but feel very blessed for my role with BD here at home in the United States and am very excited about the impact I can have here longer-term.”
