Social Impact Heroes: Why & How Moderna’s Shannon Thyme Klinger Is Helping To Change Our World

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it is not okay, it is not the end.” A friend gave me a card with this quotation on it when I first moved from a law firm to assume an in-house role. I have taken the card with me to every position I’ve held since, as it has proven to provide incredible and much needed perspective on the most challenging of days (and to date it has the benefit of always being true).


As part of my series about “individuals and organizations making an important social impact”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Shannon Thyme Klinger.

Shannon Thyme Klinger is Moderna’s Chief Legal Officer and the President of the Moderna Charitable Foundation. She leads the company’s legal, governance, corporate compliance and philanthropic efforts. Shannon joined Moderna from Novartis, where she served as Chief Legal Officer and a member of the Novartis Executive Committee since 2018.
