From humble beginnings to pharmaceutical industry powerhouse, Rebecca Vermeulen takes each giant leap while staying true to her passion for empowerment. Entering her freshman year at Purdue, Vermeulen thought she wanted to work in community pharmacy. A summer internship helped her to quickly find her passion for patient advocacy and leadership. There was no turning back.   Early on in her professional career, Vermeulen quickly learned that if she wanted to be a leader who could impact change on many levels, she couldn’t try to copy anyone else’s leadership style. She had to do it her own way. Since then, she has been forging a path for women in leadership while staying true to her passion and purpose.
