Melissa Brotz

I’m the chief marketing, communications and sustainability officer at Abbott, where I’ve built my career for more than 25 years. My role provides great perspective and enables me to be a connector of our company’s purpose — helping people around the world live better and healthier with our life-changing technologies — across our businesses and stakeholders. I encourage our teams to keep our purpose — and our customers — front and center in all that we do, to drive authenticity and relevance and ensure our company is here for generations to come, making an impact on the world’s health. I’m immensely proud of the work we do at Abbott creating life-changing technologies and making them accessible to more people in more places across the globe. I’m thrilled to contribute to this work by expanding awareness and building loyalty and trust in Abbott and our family of brands. I’m also passionate about advancing the marketing and communications professions, which I do as an active member of ANA CMO Growth Council, MMA North America Board, the Arthur W. Page Society, and the Medill School of Journalism Board of Advisers at Northwestern University.
