Whether the challenge is pharmaceutical companies search for more effective R&D platforms and growth in emerging markets, or health insurers efforts to cost-effectively cover a broad swath of new enrollees, the industry needs innovative and adept leaders to capitalize on new opportunities and assure that the change is for the better.
