Joanne Pike, DrPH, is president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, the global leader in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, support and research. With her progressive experience in social support and public health, she is leading the organization during a transformational period. Novel treatments for people living with Alzheimer’s are emerging, and equitable access — as well as reaching all those affected with education and support — has never been more important.

Since joining the Alzheimer’s Association in 2016, Dr. Pike has held several roles, highlighting her increasing leadership within the organization and the cause. As chief programs officer, she was responsible for overseeing care and support services offered to all those affected by the disease; outreach aimed at creating partnerships with health systems, physicians and other health care professionals; long-term care initiatives focused on person-centered care delivery models; and growth strategies to reach more individuals through quality improvement, education, and support programs and services. From 2020 to 2021, she served as chief strategy officer, directing the implementation of the strategic plan throughout all elements of the organization.
