Meet Elise Hyer, a distinguished professional in the veterinary industry. She has been an integral part of SVP, now Mission Pet Health, since its 20th hospital, where she embarked on a journey that has defined her career. Currently serving on the Business Development team, Elise boasts an impressive record of over 380 successful acquisitions and partnerships.

A servant leader at heart, Elise is committed to continuous personal growth to better support, develop, and inspire her team. Her leadership philosophy centers on nurturing an environment where her team can thrive, learn, and reach their full potential. With a focus on the overall customer experience, Elise has pioneered a white glove approach to acquisitions. This not only ensures client satisfaction but also enhances the cross-functional internal experience that her team provides throughout Mission Pet Health.

Elise’s professional journey began at Mississippi State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration with summa cum laude honors—a remarkable achievement for a first-generation college student from rural Mississippi to attend college. Her career trajectory has been marked by dedication, starting with a full academic scholarship and ten years at Pfizer, primarily in hospital and specialty divisions.

Over the past seven years, she has played a pivotal role in shaping SVP’s closing process and has successfully hired and developed a dynamic team. Elise takes pride in her collaboration across various Mission Pet Health functions, and her achievements have been recognized with two WAG awards—an individual honor and a team accolade that she cherishes deeply.

Beyond her professional achievements, Elise values her personal life. Married to her college sweetheart, Matt, she cherishes family moments with their 17-year-old son, Noah, and their two beloved furbabies, Leia and Yoda. This blend of professional expertise and personal warmth defines Elise’s approach in the veterinary industry, embodying a perfect balance of dedication, leadership, and genuine care.
