Manufacturing is where science becomes medicine. I’ve spent my career making sure that happens — and it is the honor of my life.

Right now that means building the capacity to deliver some of the most important medicines in a generation, at a scale the industry hasn’t seen before. I care about quality. I care about patients. I care about responsible manufacturing and sustainability. I care about the people doing the work.I am a digital media spokesperson for Lilly and discuss topics related to our company, our business, and the health care environment.
