The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) named Susan Cantrell its new CEO Friday.
“I am so pleased to be leading the Academy,” Cantrell said. “My goal is to not only maintain AMCP’s current path of program excellence, strong finances and active member engagement, but also elevate AMCP’s profile among policymakers, stakeholders and industry leaders.”
Her position is effective in February.
Cantrell brings three decades of experience to her new role. Before joining AMCP, she was the senior vice president and managing director of the Drug Information Association (DIA). The professional association features 18,000 members who are committed to the advancement of scientific and medical innovation. Cantrell has also served in various positions at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
“We could not be more excited to have such a proven, visionary, and dynamic executive leading the Academy,” AMCP President Raulo Frear said. “Susan brings a rare combination of experience as both a pharmacist and an association executive, along with a record of success in member engagement, industry collaborations and product and program development. Add to that her unique understanding of AMCP members, it’s clear she’ll hit the job running and the Board could not be happier.”
The Academy's current CEO Edith Rosato is retiring after almost four years.
