What’s Next For ICER: An Interview With New President Sarah Emond

The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review’s (ICER’s) new president and CEO Sarah Emond took over the role from the organization’s longtime leader and founder Steve Pearson on Jan. 1, and in an interview at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, she discussed some of the pressing drug pricing issues on ICER’s radar for the year ahead.

Emond has had a lengthy career at ICER, having worked for the organization for 14 years — most recently as vice president and chief operating officer, helping to lead strategic operations. She said the leadership change was part of a long and planned transition and Pearson continues to work as an advisor.
