Wanda Hill, c/o 1990

Wanda’s career has traversed the ranks of the pharmaceutical industry, starting as a sales representative with Merck. She has extensive experience building and leading teams and driving strategic initiatives across various functions, including regulatory affairs, legal affairs, health advocacy/policy and compliance. Throughout her career in health care, she has proven herself as a trusted people leader, business partner, and advocate to help companies achieve the competitive advantage of a values-driven, people-centered approach to business.

In 2011, Wanda joined GSK from AstraZeneca as part of the Regulatory organization with increasing levels of responsibility. She led the transformation of the US commercial regulatory function (advertising and promotion, policy, labeling). Under her leadership, she drove the transformation of this function to become a trusted business partner and enabler, upskilling technical capability and business acumen, and simplifying internal policies and processes to effectively manage risk, while driving innovation and business performance.

Wanda holds degrees in pharmacy and law, with a concentration in healthcare law and policy. She is particularly passionate about mentoring and leadership coaching, constructing diverse and welcoming-to-all workplaces, promoting STEM careers and industry-academic partnerships. Wanda currently serves on the US Corporate Charitable Committee in support of GSK investment in equitable STEM education, community health and disaster response.  Wanda is a founder of a groundbreaking postgraduate fellowship program in regulatory affairs and policy—a GSK partnership with the FDA Office of Medical Policy and the Howard University College of Pharmacy, where she serves as a board member. Wanda also serves as a board member of Easterseals, a national organization advocating for people with disabilities.
