The Most Powerful Women in Health Care: Brainstorm Health

Good afternoon, readers.

As I mentioned yesterday, Fortune is out with its 22nd list of the Most Powerful Women in Business. This morning, we added a cohort of non-U.S. based female leaders—the international branch of MPW.

Hats off to our colleagues who put together these lists and our incredible Most Powerful Women issue. As you might suspect, several health care leaders made the cut.

On the U.S. side: Gail Boudreaux, president and CEO of insurance giant Anthem, rang in at number 5, in part thanks to her efforts in digital health; Karen Lynch of Aetna (now part of CVS) placed at number 17 and will be responsible for the insurance unit of the consolidated company; a pair of Johnson & Johnson executives (Jennifer Taubert, who leads the drug giant’s pharmaceutical business, and Ashley McEvoy of the medical devices arm) are also on the list.

And then there’s the international side, where a health care executive—and one of the most prominent C-suite chiefs in the biopharma industry—took the number two spot: Emma Walmsley, CEO of British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline, who has worked to transform the core business strategy of her company.

A newcomer this year? Susanne Schaffert, who’s been leading Novartis’ pioneering cancer drug unit since January.

I encourage you to check out both of these lists and the numerous, incredible features that go along with them.

Read on for the day’s news.
