At Curae, Ehnow partners with the CEO to take primary responsibility for the evolution and execution of the operating plan to scale the Curae organization appropriately in the areas of Commercial Operations, Market Access, Marketing, Policy and Government Relationships and co-manage corporate communications. Throughout her career, Ehnow has led successful partnerships with both governmental agencies and private pharmaceutical companies, developing new medicines for both small and large molecule products. She has spent 10 years at for-profit pharmaceutical companies and over 15 years in non-profit pharmaceutical entities. At the Institute for OneWorld Health, Ms. Ehnow was integral in forming and managing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant and the multi-company partnership that brought semi-synthetic Artemisinin to market. As part of the original founding team of Medicines360, she helped define and lead the program strategy and implementation that brought the hormonal IUD to market in the USA, breaking down barriers to access in the process.
