CHPA appoints Haleon’s Lisa Paley as board chair
The Consumer Healthcare Products Association has appointed Lisa Paley as chair of its board of directors following its March board meeting held during the association’s annual Self-Care Leadership Summit in Orlando, Fla.
Paley, a standing member of CHPA’s board of directors since March 2019, leads the North America Region at Haleon. As president, she is a member of its Executive Leadership Team and oversees the regional business unit while leading the end-to-end business in the U.S. Under Paley’s leadership, the North American business encompasses numerous health and wellness categories, including brands such as Advil, Centrum, Emergen-C, Flonase, Parodontax, Sensodyne, Theraflu and TUMS.
Paley joined the company in 2019 when it was still part of GSK, bringing her track record of success from other consumer healthcare companies, including Pfizer Consumer Healthcare/Warner-Lambert and Johnson & Johnson.

“I’m thrilled to be elected to this role and honored to be in a position to continue to advance the consumer health industry,” said Paley. “I’m looking forward to working with Scott, Michelle, the Board and CHPA members to drive awareness of the clear value of our industry and help ensure good health is more achievable, inclusive and sustainable for all Americans.”
“We are delighted to welcome Lisa to her new role as CHPA board chair,” said CHPA president and CEO Scott Melville. “With the self-care industry playing an ever-increasing role in the lives of Americans, Lisa’s decades of consumer healthcare management and experience will be invaluable in helping guide our association during what is an exciting time for self-care in the world’s largest market. I very much look forward to working closely with Lisa and the entire board as we move ahead with our industry’s self-care agenda.”
