Fanny Ying Chen, Abbott Laboratories
Campaign Statement
Dear Fellow AmCham Members,
I am Fanny Chen, Vice President of Abbott Core Diagnostics, and I currently also work as the Affiliate Management Representative of Abbott Laboratories in China. I would like to be considered for the AmCham China’s 2025 Board of Governors, so that I can contribute to the success of AmCham and the US business community in China at this important moment.
Apart from my current role in Abbott, I am on the Board of AdvaMed China (Advanced Medical Technology Association), and I am very keen in improving policy and regulations for the med-tech industry in China as well as fostering deep and enduring relationships with Chinese and U.S. government, academia, and other partners. I have experience and a thorough understanding of the commitments required of a Governor, having in the past 22+ years, been involved in healthcare industry, including in supply chain management, global sourcing and purchasing, and extensive engagements with Chinese and US clients, partners, and government. With over 20 years of professional experience in healthcare industry, I understand the difficulties and challenges that the global healthcare companies face going forwards and what the new trust and partnership would like to achieve in the current US-China relation that casts many uncertainties on economic cooperation.
As a healthcare company with operations and a long-term commitment to China, we highly appreciate AmCham for the continuous efforts to protect and promote the interests of US business circle in China. Although it’s my first time to run for the Board, Abbott has been an active supporter of AmCham China. As a Chairman Circle member, Abbott witnessed AmCham China’s leadership in engaging with both US and Chinese governments, in driving sustainability, promoting new life-saving technologies and the creation of public goods.
In conclusion, if given the opportunity I will work tirelessly on behalf of our shared interests as a trusted partner and would be grateful to have your support.
Thank you again for your consideration and your support!
Sincerely,
Fanny Chen
