Alsup’s 20-year career in animal health includes a number of U.S. and international management positions at Elanco Animal Health, including country director for Elanco Italy and head of global marketing for cattle.

Alsup joined Vetoquinol in January of this year in a business development role for the Americas.
“Eric is a proven leader who has helped to grow some of the most highly regarded animal health companies in the world,” said Tom Robitaille, group director of Vetoquinol Americas and head of the company’s operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. “His experience in the veterinary community is a perfect fit for our organization, while his background in global marketing and sales initiatives adds to our already thriving United States team.”
Alsup holds a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University. He assumes the responsibilities of country manager on the departure of Mr. Beauchamp, who has made a tremendous contribution to Vetoquinol in his roles as country manager in the U.S. and previously as country manager in Canada.
