Under Adele Ambrose's leadership, Merck spent 2012 working to better the health of women around the world.
Last summer, the company launched a website to help women in Mexico become more aware of issues such as depression, cancer, and more. And it teamed with HealthyWomen, a health information source, to launch Lifetime of Vaccines.
Ambrose was also vital in Merck becoming more proactive in aligning CSR efforts with the firm's role in global health.
