3. Sally Susman, EVP, corporate affairs, Pfizer
By Albert Bourla, Group president, Pfizer Innovative Health
“Inspirational,” “values-driven,” and “phenomenal partner” are just a few words that describe Sally. She brings unique ideas forward, forging relationships with allies and perceived adversaries, to create impactful health solutions.
When I met Sally, she shared a piece of advice: “Remember, you have one mouth and two ears for a reason.” The art of listening and being thoughtful has been a guiding philosophy for Sally and it continues to serve her well. This is one of the reasons she remains a trusted adviser and has a seat at the table, discussing how the industry can address the complex challenges around improving health.
