About Eliza Johnson

I\'m passionate about healthcare equity and how private entities can be leaders in achieving it. Personally and professionally, I am committed to expanding access to care for hard-to-reach populations with challenging health conditions. Over the past decade, I have worked across the full spectrum of healthcare: enterprise PMO operations at one of the largest dialysis providers in the US, shaping global oncology commercialization strategy at Merck, coordinating COVID-19 vaccine deployment with the Gates Foundation and COVAX, and mobilizing $65M+ in philanthropic funding through the WHO. I\'ve also worked to increase resources for providers of adolescent mental health care, combat DE & I challenges in the venture capital sector, and provide research and analysis on various health-related topics to support early-stage VC investments.In 2023 I earned my MBA at Duke University\'s Fuqua School of Business and graduated with a certificate in Health Sector Management and a concentration in DEI.
