Cindy Eckert

CINDY ECKERT’s work today in The Pink Ceiling/Pinkubator continues to break barriers by investing in and mentoring other women to get to her same outcomes. Over a distinguished twenty four year career in healthcare, in only the last ten she has started and sold two businesses for more than $1.5B. First, Slate Pharmaceuticals, which redefined long acting testosterone treatment for men, and next, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, home of the first ever FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women (dubbed “female Viagra” by the media). After selling the company for $1B in 2015, she successfully fought to get the drug back and launch it on her own terms. Eckert has made waves, and made her own success, creating mission-driven companies that deliver big. Her results have become a widely-covered business success story featured in major media outlets. She is most proud of helping others take command. The profoundly positive impact those companies have made in people’s lives is what keeps her coming back for more. @cindypinkceo
