Congrats to Arthur Levinson, CEO of Genentech
Glassdoor.com a site that allows people to rate CEO and company performance selected Arthur Levinson, one of the original founders and current CEO of Genentech as the “nicest CEO” of the year. Dr. Levinson received a 93 percent approval rating and he is the only biotech CEO on the list. A strategic planner at Genentech wrote “He leads the Silicon Valley biotech company with a “decision-making structure that intrinsically forces authority downward to the lowest possible level providing many opportunities to exercise and test one’s judgment.” I have worked with Genentech on education and training initiatives in the past and as far as I am concerned it is “second to none” in the biotech industry.
It is evident from Genentech’s continued success, that Dr. Levinson is truly one of the unsung heroes (and pioneers) of the biotechnology industry. I am glad that he is finally getting the recognition that he deserves.
Until next time…
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting (try Genentech, they are hiring!)
