LISTEN > A down-to-earth global change maker, Dr John McHutchison AO
This week we speak with Dr John McHutchison AO, the Advance Global Impact Award Winner 2020 and the man essentially responsible for providing a global cure for Hepatitis C. Holly Ransom asks John about the ability to scale impact in science and medicine when delivering cures to millions of citizens.
John is as infectiously enthusiastic about immunology and rare diseases as he is about leadership and growing the people around him. He discusses the challenge of having the heart of a scientist and the mind of a CEO. In his role as CEO of Assembly, he makes the point that it’s wise to have fewer people in your business who hold an MBA and more people who are truly passionate about the problem the company is trying to solve.
As a down-to-earth global change maker, Dr John McHutchison is now working on curing Hepatitis B. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
