Michelle Ivy
Michelle is a visionary global patient advocacy leader, reshaping the blood cancer landscape through a distinguished career spanning the biotech and healthcare industries. She brings over 20 years of experience driving strategic growth and operational excellence. She is renowned for translating bold organizational visions into strategic objectives and delivering high-impact business outcomes. Michelle’s influence transcended her role as a transformational leader when her journey took a personal turn in 2020 after her husband’s diagnosis with Multiple Myeloma. This experience ignited a life-saving purpose to combat misdiagnoses and prioritize equitable access to patient-centered care in underserved communities. Driven by a promise to be the ‘voice for the voiceless’, Michelle established Amplify Black Myeloma Voices, a radical patient group dedicated to bridging science and faith. The foundation amplifies awareness, promotes earlier detection, and cultivates mental wellness with patients, survivors, and care partners.
