Chief Executive Officer, IDEA Pharma

Mike cites a number of people who have inspired him over the years, including the authors Michael Schrage, Steven Johnson, Stephen Jay Gould, Clifton Leaf, who took the time to capture their wisdom and insights for all to benefit. He’d like to see more medicine launches. “If we launched more medicines, we’d create a genuinely competitive environment, where success is driven by more than exclusivity – by innovation in commercial models and truly reflecting unmet need in choices of outcome measures and patient relevance.”
