Oz, M.D., the Irving Associate Professor of Cardiac Surgery at Columbia University who is a founder of the Complementary Medicine Program at New York Presbyterian Medical Center.

Before her election to the position, she served as President and Chief Operating Officer over all business units of Avon worldwide.
