“Ray Kerins is a rare leader who has been a major force of goodness for Pfizer and Pharma industry. I am a producer of business conferences for over 10 years. Ray has consistently been one of the highest rated speakers we have ever had. When I produced my first social media & healthcare conference four years ago, I couldn't find a senior executive from a Pharma company that was willing to talk about the subject until I found Ray. Not only did he agree to speak, he singlehandedly helped me recruit other speakers and our first conference on the topic was a big success, largely due to Ray's participation. Aside from his thought leadership, I watched Ray build an amazing team of professionals at Pfizer who I have had the good fortune to work with. He brought a level of creativity to the global media relations function that was unique for his industry. As a direct result of Ray's leadership, Pfizer's relationship with the media and overall brand reputation is far better than it has ever been, despite the regular challenges any global Fortune 100 Pharma company such as Pfizer faces. Ray's transparent roll-up-your sleeves style is a fresh break from the typical corporate "play your cards close to your vest" approach. I could go on and on but the bottom line is a one-in-a- million kind of professional and person and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with him and look forward to future opportunities with Ray.”

Each CDC Foundation program involves a talented team of experts at CDC and at least one outside funding partner. Sometimes, a program begins with a CDC scientist who has a great idea and wants to collaborate with an outside partner to make it happen. At other times, organizations in the private sector recognize that they can better accomplish their own public health goals by working with CDC through the CDC Foundation.
