Fleming was recognized as a Top Women in Communications in 2020 and is nominated for the MM&M Entrepreneur of the Year 2021.
“This is a pivotal time in healthcare, our world is evolving rapidly, and communications must not only keep pace but set a new standard. At MMC, I am looking forward to setting the bar high for an industry that is redefining purpose, content and creative. At the center will be a passion for people, ensuring that our talent is empowered, equipped, and excited to deliver bespoke programming.

I am excited to work with Marina, Rema and the leadership team across MMC and RXMosaic to define the new healthcare communications landscape,” said Olga Fleming.
MMC also announced that it has hired industry dynamo Courtney Walker to lead its RXMosaic healthcare agency, and drive healthcare new business across both MMC and RXMosaic.

As such, we broadened our role for Courtney to fit her exact skill set as she has demonstrated both profound new business prowess and the ability to lead large, diversified teams and high-profile client partnerships.
