Our Core Values at Work
Hear from some of our team members on how they live out our core values.
Do the Right Thing
Valor places a strong emphasis on core value “Do the Right Thing”. Founder and CEO, Rick Niemi says “Our collective commitment to integrity and regulatory compliance is crucial in today’s business world, and particularly in our industry where trust and ethical behavior are of great importance. Having a company-wide commitment to this core value, with all departments and team members being held accountable, sets a positive example and creates a culture of responsibility and ethics. Valor values trust, and doing the right thing builds meaningful relationships with everyone we work with.”
Quality Matters
Christine Stephanos is Valor’s Vice President and Chief Pharmacy Officer. In this capacity, she oversees the Compliance department which embodies “Quality Matters”. Together as a team of 3 senior pharmacists and a performance improvement analyst, they keep up to date with the dynamic compliance and regulatory changes impacting compounding pharmacies. Christine’s role is crucial to the health and success of not only Valor but also the patients and businesses with whom we partner.
Question Everything
As a company grows, the way it operates should evolve to reflect the needs of the employees and its customers. Valor’s Vice President and Chief Business Officer, Sherine Khalil leads the team to optimize operations through technology, training, and scalability while ensuring adherence to compliance. “Question Everything” is a critical core value that helps lead Valor, its employees, and its partners to success in delivering excellent patient care and service. Sherine encourages the team to solve the root cause of any issues and to continually improve operations as opposed to following the status quo. Constantly thinking of new ways to do things helps create cohesion among Valor’s many different departments.
