Susan Lane Stone, MBA
CEO & Executive Director
National Headache Foundation
The National Headache Foundation is a non-profit organization that for over 55 years has been creating a future where everyone in the world with headache can thrive in optimal, functional and connected lives. NHF understands that headache disorders and migraine disease is still largely misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. With aid from advanced technology and clinical innovation, there are more care options than ever before.
Susan has more than 20 years of non-profit board and committee leadership, administration, and development experience that she brings to the leadership of the National Headache Foundation (NHF). She also has more than 30 years’ experience in executive biopharma and medical device roles, 15 of which delivered evidence-based headache and migraine education with and for patients, caregivers, healthcare practitioners, public and private payers, and policymakers.
Susan's strengths in strategy, operations, communications, policy, advocacy, market access, program management and development supports the NHF commitment to the following three pillars: (1) Resilient and Functional Living, (2) Medical Understanding and Advancements for Optimal Outcomes, and (3) Community-centered patient insights and engagement.
