Hilary Gentile

Hilary has been with McCann Health for 20 years and last year marked her promotion to the newly created position of Global Chief Strategy Officer. Her creation of the Future-Scape tool and the launch of a Social Science department within McCann Health has helped to establish her as an expert and influencer in her field. Her extensive experience with new product launches, business planning, and helping companies unlock truths to drive customer behavior, has made her a trusted advisor to some of the largest pharmaceutical companies as both a consumer and professional expert

Coming from a family with 9 doctors, Hilary studied sociology and histology at Smith College. Her family continues to inspire her, as her husband and children drive her to be a better person and appreciate every moment. She values the connections in her life, as she believes that to be successful you have to connect, understand and build trust with people.
