Organon & Co. CEO Kevin Ali is the first to admit that the company faced a lot of skepticism when it spun out of Merck & Co., Inc. with three seemingly disparate sets of assets – established products, biosimilars and women’s health – with plans to most aggressively invest in women’s health for growth. Ali is also the first to note that the company has delivered on its promises across all three areas during its first year.
