Meet your MSL Mentors

Meet Dr. Moore – The MSL Career Coach/Strategist/Mentor Who Broke the Mold

In 2018, Dr. Moore defied the odds and landed his first full-time Psychiatry MSL role at a mid-sized pharma company—despite having no postdoc, no prior industry or MSL experience, no Psychiatry background, and no KOL connections. He was an unemployed Biochemistry PhD living in Austin, TX… and six months later, he was hired to cover the Pacific Northwest territory.

Since then, he’s built a standout Medical Affairs career across Psychiatry, Neurology, Hematology/Oncology, and Internal Medicine at large, mid-sized, startup, and now medical device companies—currently serving as a Senior MSL and Head of Field Medical Training & Development.

Over the past 6+ years, Dr. Moore has become a respected voice in the MSL world: keynote speaker, podcast guest, industry advocate, and trusted mentor to hundreds of aspiring MSLs. He’s known for turning high-potential candidates into high-performing MSLs through laser-focused coaching, insider strategy, MSL-tested tactics, and a deep understanding of how the MSL hiring process really works.

If you’re serious about breaking through to your first MSL role, there’s no better guide. Dr. Moore’s proven approach to networking, interviewing, and scientific storytelling has helped clients crack the code—and launch thriving careers in the pharma/biotech industry.
