"Karen has been a terrific resource and leader to the pharmaceutical industry for much of her professional career, especially in her role as NPC's President for the last 11 years," Mahady said. "We will certainly miss her tremendous health policy experience and wisdom, her enthusiasm, drive, and leadership on behalf of NPC and its member companies." Williams has agreed to remain at the helm of NPC during the search for her successor in order to help assure a successful transition.
Mahady said NPC is working with the Washington, DC office of the executive search firm of Korn/Ferry International to direct the search for the next President of the organization. NPC is working with Boyden Executive Search Firm in Atlanta for other senior staff positions, including a Vice President of Clinical and Scientific Affairs and a Research Director.
NPC was established in 1953 and is supported by approximately 20 of the nation's major research-based pharmaceutical companies.
