Leadership Profile of Dr. Amy Gadsden
Abstract
As Dr. Amy Gadsden spoke, the candy tray creeping into my peripheral vision served as a reminder that visitors were welcome in her office. Indeed, when Amy’s not rushing around to meetings, I’ve noticed that her room serves as a popular destination for Penn employees seeking out a brief chat or to grab sweets. Amy has a pleasant demeanor, answering questions in a thoughtful manner. During our conversation, several quick, successive bangs served as a loud reminder that there’s always something -- sometimes unexpectedly -- on her agenda. Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel, the Vice Provost for Global Affairs and Professor of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, barged in apologizing for the interruption and informing Amy that he had ten minutes to prepare for his conversation with the Provost.
