About

I love building teams, developing novel solutions to challenging problems, and commercializing great products, but I truly hate selling myself. So here's six kind of quick things about me. This is painful but must be done.1. I am humbled to serve humanity by bringing innovations to markets. I have done it alot! I have launched more than a dozen products. Also have built numerous capabilities/companies across many countries and markets from scratch.2. I am a "learning junkie." At various times I have taught myself woodworking, restored classic cars, built most of a house, learned how to grow micro greens, taught myself how to rock climb, and a bunch of other stuff. In my work I have learned so much by doing. With my amazing teams, I have built predictive algorithms to help ID rare diseases earlier, done multiple first of their kind deals with Ironwood and 23&Me, built and re-built commercial teams and so much more. 3. I have four incredible children, a wife who is so amazing I am astonished she married me and I wonder how I keep getting away with keeping her, I have over 30 nieces/nephews, five siblings, have moved 29 times & lived all over the world, have two dogs and a cat that doesn't like me, am of Icelandic and Spanish extraction (long story) and lived in a snow cave for two months. 4. At the risk of being morose, my mother died of cancer when I was nine. Ever since I have wanted to help people.5. Some of my principles. Hire and surround oneself with fantastic people and support them. Leaders eat last. ALWAYS do the right thing-hard or not-especially for the earth and people. As humans we have an obligation to drive solutions to all challenges across the world. Listen to your wife...she is smarter than you likely...mine certainly is. If your kid asks you to play ball, xbox, do Rubik's cube, whatever it is-you do it-they grow up crazy fast! Make big goals, take risks, don't be afraid to fail, read a lot, be kind to yourself and others...ok I am done this could go on for a while.6. You know when people ask you "What would you be if you could do anything?" I would do what I do now. Boring I get it, but hear me out...I get to work with amazing people, I get to travel the world, I get to help build and launch amazing products and they even pay me to do this stuff! Best, JG
