Future Leaders Kelci Trent

Sr. Director of Marketing, Cardiovascular, Johnson & Johnson


Kelci Trent is the Senior Director of Marketing, Xarelto. As a commercial leader with 20 years at Johnson and Johnson of experience in the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries, she has shaped commercial strategy as a marketing, sales and research lead across multiple Therapeutic Areas (Oncology, Immunology, CVM, neuroscience). Kelci has led businesses (or should I say brands) through multiple stages of the lifecycle including launch, growth and mature brands (or the full drug development lifecycle). Within Medical devices Kelci built the global team, launch strategy and was the commercial lead for the Calibra divestiture. Kelci led through the complexity of the Cardiovascular evolution project which resulted in a healthier CVM business for Johnson and Johnson. Kelci is passionate about mentoring and coaching. She is also a published author who co-wrote Completely Yes: A Book of Sermons by My Father as a tribute to her father who lost his speech from a severe stroke.
