President and CEO at National Pharmaceutical Council

On the cross-country flight home from a wonderful and busy BIO International Convention, I spent some time reflecting on three years here at the National Pharmaceutical Council. I still remember flying to DC as the brand-new President and CEO of the organization in June 2021 – a trip that simultaneously feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago, given the changes in the industry, health policy, and research environment. The work of NPC has never been more relevant — or more important. We have a great team, and this team appreciates the challenges we face. Here are three reflections I’d offer for anyone interested in the future of innovation. • To meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, NPC has built new capabilities that allow us to build on our 70-year legacy as we conduct rigorous, policy-relevant research and communicate it with impact. I invite you to learn more about the value we provide to NPC members and the benefits member companies experience. https://lnkd.in/etCWVqTE • NPC’s research informs many of the important policy conversations going on right now. To stay up to date on our latest, I hope you subscribe to the NPC This Week Newsletter to get a weekly look-ahead at the policy, research, and industry conversations that matter to the future of biopharmaceutical innovation. https://lnkd.in/eBAj7B_B  • I’m proud of the team at NPC and what we’ve accomplished — while recognizing the challenges in front of us. If you’d like to see more of our recent research, analysis, and work, check out our 2023 Annual Report. https://lnkd.in/eB6u2nWd  I’ve loved every minute of the past three years and look forward to many more. These aren’t challenges we can solve alone, and it has never been more important for drugmakers, payers, and policymakers to understand the ecosystem and work together for the benefit of patients. If we haven’t spoken in a while, I’d love to hear from you, whether in the DMs, email, or phone.  #pharma #innovation #healthpolicy
