Rebecca Watson-Beattie, Business Development Manager

With a technical biology degree (MCDB/EPOB) and a degree in Business Administration (emphasis in marketing), Rebecca has the ability to understand life science marketing from a unique perspective. After working in a cell biology lab for two years as an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Rebecca moved on to the business world establishing sales records at SeraCare Life Sciences. After one short year, Rebecca was promoted to the national distribution sales manager overlooking all business activity between SeraCare and VWR International.

After SeraCare, Rebecca accepted a position with Eppendorf North America as the West Coast Cell Biology Specialist. During her five years with Eppendorf, Rebecca won top sales awards and grew the territory by an unprecedented 21% in her first year. As the Cell Biology/Micromanipulation Specialist Rebecca was able to successfully demonstrate techniques such as nuclear transfer, embryonic cell transfer, pronuclear injections, microdissection, and intracellular sperm injection, which lead to the sales of their capital equipment. With the help of dealer partners Rebecca developed and implemented a “Stem Cell Micromanipulation” seminar series for the University of California system to raise end-user product awareness, increase brand recognition and grow sales within this sector.
