President
Hemophilia Alliance
Joe Pugliese has been involved in the hemophilia community for the last 30 years. He
started in 1978 as a sales representative in Chicago with the Armour Pharmaceutical
Company. He has held a variety of positions over the years including General Manager of
Hemophilia Services, and was named the Vice President and General Manager of North
America for Aventis Behring (successor company of Armour) in 2001.
Under Joe's direction, and with the cooperation and creative thinking of many talented
associates, Armour led the way in innovative, nationally recognized programs and
services for the hemophilia community. These included: Hemalog, Reimbursement
Alert, Project Red Flag, Laurie Kelley's series of books, plant tours, Getting in the Game,
ABChoice and Victory Lane Kids. Joe left Aventis Behring in April 2004, when it was
acquired by CSL.
He joined Amerisource Bergen Specialty Group as President of the Specialty Pharmacy
business in 2004, and eventually departed to pursue other interests in the hemophilia
community.
His ongoing discussions with the Hemophilia Alliance led to his assisting in the
formation of a GPO. On January 1, 2006, he signed on as a consultant and was recently
named the President of the Hemophilia Alliance. Joe is looking forward to seeing this
organization deliver its goal of achieving operational excellence in providing services for
the hemophilia community.

and two grandchildren. Joe is the Chairman of Community Health Charities of
Pennsylvania.
