Sue Desmond-Hellmann wrapped up a six-year tenure as CEO of
the Gates Foundation this summer, where she sat at the center of
the world’s largest philanthropic effort. Beyond her time there Sue
was the chancellor of UC San Francisco, a division President at
Genentech, and one of the world’s foremost oncology researchers –
building a leadership profile that’s almost without rival. With her
down to earth approach to leadership, the way she engages with
people on her team, and how she builds team - there is a lot to
learn from Sue on how to lead in all sectors and the common
playbook she brings to each of those roles.
