After graduating from the University of Tennessee, Jacqueline M. Byrum achieved a longstanding goal to work in television journalism, winning a highly competitive internship at CNN. From there, she worked under acclaimed anchor, Bernard Shaw, for five years and became a successful writer and editor at CNN’s Headline News.

Soon, however, her entrepreneurial spirit and desire to set her own income led her to pursue a career in sales. After much research, she decided to go into the healthcare arena and eventually chose McKesson, a Fortune 12 company and the largest distributor. It offered a strong brand, commission-based structure. She admired the fact that you could write your own paycheck, in a manner of speaking, depending upon how hard you wanted to work, demonstrating an entrepreneurial mindset from the very beginning of her new career.

After working for McKesson – a Fortune 12 Company – for close to 9 years, and achieving the status of top sales person out of 650 sales representatives in the country, Jacqueline set her sights on something different.

A creative and entrepreneurial thinker, she discovered a niche market in healthcare that was vastly underserved, and had been overlooked by larger competitors. The market was Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO). Every hospital works with a GPO. Jacqueline saw a built-in – and potentially very financially profitable– growth in the smaller providers.

As it turns out Jackie’s prediction was spot on and New Source It is on track to do 60 million dollars in sales for 2010.
