Greg Bradley elected CHPA board chair
The Consumer Healthcare Products Association announced the election of Greg Bradley to serve as chair of its board of directors at its March membership and board meeting held during the association’s recent annual Self-Care Leadership Summit in San Antonio.
Bradley, a standing member of CHPA’s board of directors since 2016, serves as president and CEO of Foundation Consumer Healthcare, a position he has held since October 2017. Bradley has 34 years of experience in the consumer-packaged goods industry, with specific expertise in over-the-counter health care.
Prior to founding FCH, Bradley worked as Head of the U.S. Operating Team at GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, now Haleon, where he helped create several mega brands within the OTC healthcare landscape, including multiple Rx-to-OTC switches. Bradley also is responsible for founding Advantage Consumer Healthcare, a full-service company specializing in Rx-to-OTC switches and healthcare product launches.

"Now more than ever, consumer healthcare—and particularly self-care—plays a uniquely critical role in empowering individuals and strengthening our collective public health. Our industry’s success depends on broad access to safe and effective OTC medicines, medical devices, and supplements," Bradley said. "I am thrilled to collaborate with Scott, the entire board, and all CHPA members and staff to focus on our shared mission and advance this incredibly important work. I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Lisa Paley for her exemplary leadership and commitment as CHPA’s immediate past chair. She has set a high bar, and I look forward to building on the strong foundation she has established."
“We are delighted to welcome Greg to his new role as CHPA board chair,” said CHPA president & CEO Scott Melville. “With the self-care industry playing an ever-increasing role in the lives of Americans, Greg’s leadership and track record of success at both large, established and emerging new consumer healthcare companies will be instrumental in helping guide our association during a time of significant change and uncertainty. The entire CHPA team very much looks forward to working closely with Greg and the board to advance our industry’s self-care agenda.”
Bradley succeeds previous chair Lisa Paley, president, North America, Haleon. Paley will continue to serve on the board as immediate past chair.
“I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to Lisa for her exceptional leadership over the past two years,” Melville said. "Lisa's commitment to self-care and her dedication to collaborative industry efforts have made a lasting impact on both our industry and association. I am personally grateful for the guidance and direction she provided to me during her term as chair."
