Ethan Hasbrouck ’98

Associate Director, State Government Affairs at Bristol-Myers Squibb Company

Ethan Hasbrouck represents Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) before state legislators, regulators, governors, and other health care stakeholders in the Mid-Atlantic region, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. “I lead efforts to advance public policies to ensure an optimal business environment and that patients have access to innovative life-saving/enhancing medications,” said Ethan.

Before joining BMS in 2016, Ethan was the New Jersey Director of Government Relations at the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS-CAN). Before that, he served as Chief of Staff to New Jersey State Assemblyman Herb Conaway, MD and former Assemblyman Jack Conners. He began his career as a legislative aide to former New Jersey Assemblyman David Mayer. He has also worked on several state legislative and local political campaigns.

“What drove me to enter this crazy world of politics and policy was wanting to make a difference in people’s lives,” said Ethan. “That is something you can do working for an elected official but also lobbying for policy changes on behalf of an organization or cause.” He traces his career roots back to his MFS days. During a high school summer internship, he was able to help a military veteran receive Veterans Administration (VA) benefits which had been previously denied. “At MFS, I really learned how to look at an issue, study the issue, form my opinion, and be able to articulate that position. Those skills have really carried me through that internship, college, graduate school, life and professional life.”
