About Vic Simianu and Sphinx Strategies:

Coming from a background in Biotechnology and Finance with an MBA from Kelley's School of Business, Vic is an entrepreneur focused on helping specialty pharmacies make key strategic investment decisions to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Vic has achieved outstanding results throughout his career leading business decisions for a broad range of healthcare and pharmaceutical industry players, and is passionate about developing innovations within the healthcare space.

Our mission is to become the nation’s most trusted independent specialty pharmacy consulting group, creating value for our clients and staff while catalyzing clinical, operational, and financial performance for our clients.

Sphinx Strategies is a consulting group focusing on developing and maintaining highly-integrated and collaborative Specialty Pharmacy operations. While Payors and PBM’s continue to force adoption of enhanced competitive requirements, specialty pharmacies face the compounded effect of time constraints, regulatory hurdles, and constant reimbursement challenges. Sphinx Strategies targets the effectiveness and speediness of their approach by combining efforts in accreditations, operational excellence, and data analytics in each phase of their projects for clients to achieve and surpass double and triple-digit ROI’s per engagement. The Sphinx portfolio of clients range from independent pharmacies to large IDN’s, ACO’s, and publicly traded pharmacies and insurers.

Accreditations often lay the foundation for specialty pharmacies to compete in the marketplace and develop key partnerships paramount to success in the industry. Being one of the first ACHC-Certified Specialty Pharmacy Consultants as well as achieving one of the first URAC Specialty Pharmacy accreditations, Vic has ridden the exponential growth within the SP industry as accreditations have become primary differentiators for pharmacies. He intimately understands the nature and history of the accrediting bodies, the rapid evolution of the accreditation standards themselves, and the ever-expanding value behind engaging and maintaining accredited processes.

About Billy Howell and The Cajun Turkey Company:

Ever since Billy was a boy, growing up in New Orleans, he just always seemed to wanta’ cook up things Cajun Style. Having experienced the best Cajun restaurants in and around New Orleans and by tasting some of the finest foods in the world, he created some mighty fine recipes, but nothin’ seemed to be more exciting than cookin’ up a traditional Cajun deep fried turkey. Seein’ the expression on his friends faces when he’d tell them that the whole turkey had been fried…well they couldn’t believe it… & then they couldn’t believe how
moist and juicy it was.

The Cajun Fried Turkey Company got its beginnings in 1994. That was the year that Billy Howell figured out that he couldn’t go about the business of cookin’ and selling his special Cajun Style Turkeys out of his garage. Before 1994 Billy cooked 600 turkeys in the garage in 2 pots. There was just no way to cook thousands of turkeys in that garage. We just had to find another way.

The Cajun Turkey Company, as our name might suggest, is a simple, tell-it-like-it-is family owned business. There's an honesty attached to directness and simplicity. For us, it means getting it right by doing things right. Not cutting corners, but taking the time and care to make the most flavorful, quality Cajun friend turkey and sides that are worthy enough to shipped all across the US.

The Cajun Turkey Company has been doing just that - bringing friends, families and entire communities together with delicious turkey and must-have and try foods for the past 26 years. With over 1.8 million pounds of Cajun Turkey delivered across this great nation of ours, we are proud, yet humbled by the response. It's a dream realized by our owner - Billy Howell, who started the company in his garage fueled by his passion, hard work and a hand shake to bring people together with good food - and a "turkey with an attitude" that makes new family traditions and all gatherings memorable.
