Aspira adds slate of female execs as it launches new ovarian cancer awareness push

Aspira Women’s Health CEO Valerie Palmieri knows it takes a woman in a high position to pay it forward, and she's done just that with a wave of new executive promotions at the diagnostics company.

Kaile Zagger is now chief operating officer; Lesley Northrop takes on a new role as chief scientific officer; Diane Powis is chief spokeswoman; and Elena Ratner, M.D., is the new global chief medical adviser for clinical and translational medicine. The lone man promoted in this round, Gary Altwerger, M.D., becomes global deputy chief medical adviser for clinical and translational medicine.
