Portland, ME, July 21, 2015 — Putney, Inc., a rapidly growing pet pharmaceutical company focused on the development and sale of generic prescription medicines for pets, has hired Gary Eaton as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, reporting to Jean Hoffman, Putney's President and CEO. As part of Putney's senior management team, Gary will lead the commercial team to deliver revenue growth fueled by rapid adoption of Putney's recent and upcoming product launches. Putney has launched six veterinary generics in the last nine months, including three first-to-market generics:
Putney's Tiletamine-Zolazepam (tiletamine HCl and zolazepam HCl) injectable, generic of Telazol®

Eaton will leverage his sixteen-year career at Idexx where, in various senior leadership roles, he developed expertise in integrating marketing and selling efforts across distribution, direct sales and field sales teams to defend market share and commercialize new products.

We have a terrific product portfolio that is growing rapidly, we have outstanding support, and we have affordable pricing. Prescribing Putney generics is a simple way for veterinarians to thrive in an economically challenging marketplace," says Eaton.
