Brenda Snow
Founder & CEOThe patient revolution started with a single story from the first Patient Ambassador®
Our belief in the power of stories comes from a very personal place. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Brenda Snow used her experience and entrepreneurial spirit to help people living with chronic conditions connect and share their stories. She pioneered the way pharma talks about—and talks with—patients and caregivers. Brenda was twice named one of the 100 Most Inspiring People in the pharmaceutical industry by PharmaVOICE magazine and received recognition from numerous NGOs worldwide.
