I am honored and humbled to be asked by my fellow directors to assume the role of lead independent director of the AbbVie Board. I want to thank Richard A. Gonzalez for his incredible leadership as AbbVie’s founding CEO, and Glenn Tilton for his invaluable guidance to the board and management since AbbVie’s inception as our first lead independent director. On July 1, AbbVie is embarking on a new phase of growth with Rob Michael as the company’s next CEO. I look forward to working with Rob in his new role and continuing to work with Rick as Executive Chairman of AbbVie and Glenn as a continuing member of the Board. It is an honor to be a part of this exciting journey!

Great evening at United Friends of Children honoring Anastasia Soare (left below), a true American success story. Anastasia came to the US from Romania at 31, couldn't speak English, and through hard work and determination created a billion dollar brand- Anastasia Beverly Hills. I have known her for much of her journey, and am so proud of all she has accomplished!! Anastasia's story is featured in this month's People magazine: https://lnkd.in/g6wwb8mi
