MM+M’s Women of Distinction and Women to Watch programs celebrate the individuals whose leadership, creativity and insight lift everyone they encounter. This year’s honorees continue to set the bar high, both for their peers and generations to follow.

“The world of medical marketing does not lack for inspiring, accomplished woman leaders,” said MM+M editor-in-chief Larry Dobrow. “For the eighth year in a row, we’re honored to be able to shine a richly deserved spotlight on a group of women who are respected by colleagues and competitors alike. As always, the 2023 classes of Women of Distinction and Women to Watch represent the best of what this industry has to offer.”
