“It was a GREAT day for the mission of Susan G. Komen with the announcement yesterday of Amber Guild as our incoming President and CEO. Our mission is not done until no one loses their life to breast cancer, and Amber’s bold, passionate and authentic leadership will drive us closer to that goal. I can’t wait for our community of breast cancer patient advocates, partners, volunteers, and donors to meet her (spoiler alert…you may see her at SABCS!)”
Quoting Susan G. Komen:
“We are pleased to announce the appointment of Amber Guild as Susan G. Komen’s new President and CEO, beginning October 1, 2026.
A breast cancer survivor and highly accomplished business leader, Amber brings decades of experience leading growth strategies, organizational transformation and brand storytelling for iconic organizations. Her personal connection to Komen’s mission, combined with her record of driving impact, will help accelerate our work toward a world where no one dies of breast cancer.
I am deeply honored to join Komen as its President and CEO,
Amber said.
Meeting this challenge requires urgency and a collective call-to-action from the private and public sectors.
For 44 years, Susan G. Komen has helped drive progress in breast cancer research, awareness and access to care. Please join us in welcoming Amber as we continue fighting for a world where no one dies of breast cancer.”
