Natalie McMurtry says Pharmac's model drew her to the agency's top job.  

She is just three weeks into her five-year-contract as chief executive at the drug-buying agency. 

The Canadian is tasked with continuing efforts to improve the agency's standing with the New Zealand public after years of degradation. 

McMurty told Mike Hosking she’s happy to keep moving forward on the reset plan that’s been put in place. 

She says she saw an opportunity to make an impact, and a board that has a great plan in place – one she could get behind.
