John’s leadership at Gilead was nothing short of legendary. Under his direction, the company developed multiple breakthrough medicines, most notably for HIV and viral hepatitis. John’s brilliance changed forever what a diagnosis of these life-threatening viral infections mean and reduced them to manageable chronic diseases.
Taiyin Yang
Under John’s leadership, Gilead created its Global Access Program to deliver high-quality and affordable medicines to treat life-limiting diseases for patients in developing countries. Based on a self-sustaining business model, this program personifies John’s perseverance, belief, and insistence that science should be transformed into solutions that changed people’s lives.
Gregg Alton and Clifford Samuel
A quiet, unassuming force, John was a visionary leader, an admired mentor, a trusted friend, an endearing partner, and a proud and loving father. His overwhelming generosity and humility were notable characteristics.
Lily Lou
Never one to seek the spotlight, John took great joy in celebrating others’ accomplishments, even when they were achieved through his steady guidance and support.
Amy Flood
It is fair comment to think of John as the ‘quiet pioneer’ who also brought honor to his many awards rather than deriving honor from them.
