July/August, 2007

The smile says it all: Santino Costanzo works hard, but he also plays hard and believes in the notion that business can and should be fun while at the same time delivering what is needed to get the job done.

Mr. Costanzo looks at every situation logically, approaches each challenge with a can-do attitude, and always asks how something can be done better. He promotes this leadership style to his colleagues and sales teams. Every problem has a solution.

As VP of sales, biohealing, at Organogenesis, Mr. Costanzo has built an effective sales team consisting of about 80 tissue regeneration specialists.

Throughout his career, he has developed highly effective and motivated sales teams.

With more than 23 years of experience in sales, Mr. Costanzo has held various management responsibilities within the pharmaceutical divisions of Novartis Pharmaceuticals, including national director of sales in tissue engineering.

Moving to Organogenesis and developing the sales team were defining moments for him since they required hiring the right people who would have an impact on the wound care market. A true leader, Mr. Costanzo is sincere in his concern for his staff and his company.

Because Mr. Costanzo understands the market and the people who drive the market, his customers think very highly of him and will follow him everywhere and anywhere.

Balance is important to Mr. Costanzo, and he enjoys working with those who are willing to do what it takes to succeed in everything they undertake, and who are family oriented as well as business minded. Highly regarded, Santino Costanzo looks at each situation logically, approaching business opportunities and people development with a can-do attitude.
