Thanks, Elizabeth! Best of Luck!
Today’s podcast and summary in this edition of MDM Update is Elizabeth Galentine’s last contribution for MDM. We’re sorry to see her go but excited for the next opportunity she is pursuing. Elizabeth has been MDM’s editor-in-chief for four years and has guided our content through very disruptive times. (She banned the team’s use of “unprecedented” to describe events of 2020.) That’s just one example of her thoughtful approach to cutting through noise and jargon — one of the hallmarks of our coverage of this industry since 1967. The team at MDM will miss her, and we wish her the best in her next venture!
