In this episode of The Treasure Hunt, Fawn Lopez, Publisher Emeritus of Modern Healthcare and a longtime supporter of the Carol Emmott Foundation, joins host Doug Riddle. The conversation offers a look at Fawn’s remarkable journey, from her experiences as a refugee coming to the United States after the fall of Saigon in 1975 to her decades-long career in healthcare publishing and her ongoing dedication to mentorship and community service.
Fawn discusses how her sense of identity has evolved, shifting from professional titles to a focus on relationships, mentoring, and giving back. Fawn credits her parents for instilling resilience, gratitude, and a refusal to be defined by prejudice and touts these as values that have guided her through challenges as a woman and immigrant leader in a male-dominated industry.
Her insights into leadership and the power of supporting the next generation resonate throughout the conversation.
