Christine Ann Miller has served as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of Melinta Therapeutics since August 2020. Ms. Miller is a global pharmaceutical veteran with more than 20 years of experience in life sciences. She directed more than 50 product launches that generated over $300 million of new annual revenue, closed numerous business development acquisitions, and built a robust five-year development and acquisition product pipeline. Before Sandoz, Ms. Miller spent over a decade at Actavis (now Allergan) and its predecessor Watson Pharmaceuticals where she led the preparation of numerous product launches and held leadership roles in both R&D operations and supply chain management. Christine started her career at Merck as a chemical engineer and procurement analyst and earned an MBA and a Master’s in Technology Management at Stevens Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In this episode, we discuss: ·     The root of Christine’s purpose and how where she came from inspired her journey. ·     How knowing her purpose helped achieve goals and climb the ladder throughout her career. ·     The redefinition of power through knowing it actually sits within you– you don’t have to chase it, or take it from someone else to be powerful. ·     How, as a CEO, Christine has faced both political challenges and professional challenges to her power and has used her strength of purpose to intentionally stay in her power. I hope you will find this episode as exciting and informative as I have.  Please let me know your thoughts!   Connect with Christine Miller Website: https://melinta.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinemiller95/  Connect with Dr. Sharon Melnick Website: https://www.sharonmelnick.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonmelnick/ Learn more about your ad choices.
