Leap is growing its leadership team. We're excited to welcome Christine Hummel as Senior Vice President of Manufacturer and Specialty Network Partnerships.

Christine brings more than two decades of healthcare leadership experience spanning pharmaceutical manufacturing, pharmacy services, and specialty distribution, most recently in executive roles at Sanofi, CVS Health, and McKesson. In her new role, she'll lead Leap's strategy and partnerships across pharmaceutical manufacturers and specialty care networks, helping expand access to specialty therapies through more transparent, coordinated care.

"What drew me to Leap is the opportunity to rethink one of the most complex and costly parts of the patient journey through a transparent, clinically focused model," said Christine. "I'm excited to build partnerships that make specialty therapies easier to access while creating value across the healthcare ecosystem."

Her appointment reflects Leap's continued investment in building strong relationships across the specialty drug ecosystem, as the company works with manufacturers, providers, and industry partners to improve access, streamline care, and create value for everyone involved, from employers to patients.
