The Power List 2017 – Industry Influencers
Richard M. Johnson
President and Chief Executive Officer, Parenteral Drug Association
“I became active in PDA 25 years ago, and this has given me the opportunity to help lead the way in promoting science-based solutions for challenges the industry faces, and to work with health authorities to improve the understanding and implementation of best practices. Serving patients is and should always be the focus of our efforts. At PDA, I am committed to working to advance our knowledge, promote best practices, and drive quality through collaboration between all stakeholders: manufacturers, suppliers and health authorities.
“I would like to see industry embrace a true quality mind-set, which goes beyond compliance with regulatory requirements. I would like to see real international harmonization of requirements that promote continuous improvement and facilitate global access to pharmaceuticals.”
