Laura Paxton
Laura Paxton, Chief Executive Officer
Laura, the force behind Rpharmy, channels her passion into enhancing safety for patients and healthcare workers. Motivated by a personal tragedy from a medication error, she's committed to constant innovation. Starting her career nearly 30 years ago in sales and marketing for major corporations, Laura stood out in a male-dominated field, valuing customer relationships deeply. Her journey in healthcare tech saw significant milestones, like digitizing the University of Wisconsin’s formulary in the late '90s. With her husband, John Paxton, she acquired and rebranded Formulary Productions to Rpharmy, focusing on safety and compliance solutions. Now, while Austin is home, Laura, John, and their beloved dog, Lola, often explore the world, supported by their grown children and their spouses.
