The Next Revolution in Global Healthcare with Mike McDermott

​2045 Live Presents:

​The Next Revolution in Global Healthcare with Mike McDermott (Pfizer)

​From 2020 to 2022, Covid-19 forced the world into new extremes. The healthcare industry took charge, with biopharmaceutical companies emerging as powerhouse innovators in vaccinations and antiviral treatment. Pfizer was one of the leading forces in this recent revolution.

​Since then, it has transformed their business, leading to massive investments that are changing how pharmaceutical companies work with suppliers and deliver products to customers and consumers.

​2045 will be joined by Mike McDermott, Global Chief Supply Officer at Pfizer, to discuss how these transformations impacted communities of color, from the covid-19 crisis to today. How did vaccine rollout differ for people of color? What lessons can we take from that experience? And how can professionals of color influence decision-makers like Mike to ensure Pfizer is ready to address the next crisis?

​As the New Global Majority emerges and the population of key markets becomes majority racially diverse, large players like Pfizer must ensure DEI is holistically baked into their business model from talent and leadership retention to consumer relations.

​This event will be live recorded for 2045's podcast "Race At Work," hosted by Channa Green and created by Porter Braswell.
