Miranda Stubbs
@mirandastubbs
I grow veterinary nutrition sales through technical expertise and strategic partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I drive veterinary nutrition sales growth at Virbac Animal Health by partnering with clinics, corporate groups, and key opinion leaders. I deliver consultative nutrition solutions, educational presentations, and CRM-based pipeline management that align products with clinical objectives.
Previously, I led the U.S. commercial launch of Arm & Hammer's companion animal yeast-based pre/pro/postbiotic portfolio, building the national business development strategy and collaborating with R&D, marketing, and operations through commercialization.
At Hill's Pet Nutrition, I managed 121 veterinary and pet specialty accounts across Arizona, delivering technical seminars, forecasts, demand plans, and high-impact client visits. I also bring quality engineering experience transferring complex formulas into manufacturing, leading risk assessments, validation planning, calibration, CAPA, and customer complaint investigations.
With a Master's in Food Science and an Animal Sciences background focused on pet food science, I bridge technical product knowledge, risk assessment, and customer-facing commercial execution in animal health.
