Sara’s decision to team up with the founder physician and the FDA registered and inspected tissue bank came after an exhaustive search for the best human allograft product made in the USA. And not only did the current RICHGEN product line exceed her expectations, the line will be expanded with even more inventive products in the near future. RICHGEN Cord will be announced shortly as an addition to the RICHGEN four material master product.
“RICHGEN is the breakthrough undifferentiated pluripotent cellular product line that practitioners have been waiting for and are now choosing,” states Sara.
Now if you’re going to distribute unrivaled biological cellular products, and your goal is to advance to the forefront a burgeoning medical marketplace, it only makes sense to enlist the best people you can find to help you get the job done. So Sara put together a North American team of industry experts, each one a Vice President.
“We are an organization of senior level people, the leading integrity-based organization in regenerative medicine,” Sara explains. Looking next to expand into Canada, Australia, New Zealand where Sara has additional residency and beyond. As a result, they are the go-to resource for the ongoing needs of physicians and aestheticians in the worldwide expansion.
Sara Oracle is by no means a new player in major corporate circles. She has been a consultant for Global Fortune 500 companies in 23 countries. From hiring to restructuring to settling disputes, her consulting firm, Breakthrough International Group, Ltd., was known as an industry maverick that major corporations could rely on for planning and instituting positive cultures as well as resolving a full range of internal issues. After 24 years at BIG, Sara is now leveraging the skills and business savvy she accumulated to bring the unlimited potential of the richest regenerative biologics and upcoming new facial serum - RICHGEN Serum to your door.
