About Our Keynote Speakers:
Scott Gottlieb, MD, is an
American physician who served as the 23rd Commissioner of the US
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dr. Gottlieb's work
advances public health through developing and
implementing innovative approaches for improving medical
outcomes, reshaping healthcare delivery, and expanding
consumer choice and safety.
Dr. Gottlieb is an advocate for advancing the health of
patients, promoting healthcare access, and driving innovation.
Under his leadership, the FDA developed new frameworks for the
modern, safe, and effective oversight of gene therapies, cell-based
regenerative medicines, targeted drugs, and digital health
devices.
Since March 2020, Dr. Gottlieb has
been a frequent guest on CBS's "Face the Nation" to discuss the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Gottlieb was recognized as one of the "World's 50 Greatest
Leaders" by Fortune magazine, named among the "Most
Influential Physician Executive and Leaders" by Modern
Healthcare, and chosen by TIME magazine as one of its
"50 People Transforming Healthcare."
Seema Verma, MPH, was the
longest-serving Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) Administrator in modern history. Confirmed by the
Senate in 2017, Administrator Verma oversaw health insurance
programs for more than 140 million Americans; a budget of
$1.3 trillion, almost a third of the
federal budget; and over 6,000 employees. She was the architect of
CMS's strategic vision, implementing more than 16 tactical
initiatives aimed at transforming the American healthcare system to
lower costs, improve quality, and increase access.
During her tenure, Former Administrator Verma led federal
government efforts to infuse market competition, empower patients,
and unleash innovation producing historic reforms. She drove
efforts to require price and quality transparency, while ensuring
patients have ownership over their portable medical records. Her
historic "Patients Over Paperwork" initiative reduced regulatory
burden and saved the healthcare system billions of dollars.
Former Administrator Verma served on the White House COVID-19
Task Force, where she led efforts to expand telehealth and remote
care opportunities across the healthcare system. She was named the
"Most Influential Person in Healthcare" in 2019 and one of the
nation's "Top 25 Women Leaders" by Modern Healthcare.
