Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ionis Pharmaceuticals

“I am now fully convinced that the only major difference between humans and other intelligent species is that humans can dream collectively. In fact, for most humans, I think there is a great need to be a part of shared or collective dreams. So to me, the most valuable commodities in life are big dreams and the leaders who can share their big dreams with others galvanically creating a collective with a higher, more noble purpose. This is how the present was created and how a better future will come to be.”
