And what was the internal focus then?
So who were your direct reports, the provost?
This would be something you did as a scientist, not necessarily as the chancellor. Not as the chancellor. The chancellors weren't doing this all the time.
So then let's get to the next chapter. What all of a sudden in 2013, 2014 leads to the next transition to being the CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
Was he still there?
I assume that the rationale for that was obviously their focus is on global health. And you have the background in the clinical side, the research side, the epidemiologic side, the management side. So there's kind of those are four legs of a chair. Were there other things that I'm missing that they felt were kind of essential pillars?
But those points of view don't strike me as mutually exclusive for an organization with enormous resources.
So how did you weigh this decision?
Were they surprised? Did they try to talk you out of this?
Okay. So you head up to Seattle now. Yes. When you show up to the foundation, how many employees are there? What does it look like? It's a not-for-profit, but does it run like Microsoft? I mean, how does it operate?
What was the most difficult thing for you to impact that you wanted to change? Meaning, was there a global initiative that you wanted to get your hands around that you just couldn't do organizationally or technically? Or what were the challenges?
Say a little bit more on that. Is that because in the not-for-profit space, you have a different talent pool than you do at Genentech?
What did the org chart look like? So I assume Bill and Melinda are co-chairs.
And then as the CEO, who are your direct reports? Is it organized by a bunch of GMs in different programs? Yeah. So there's a TB person, an HIV person, a polio person, a malaria person?
So under global health, you then have sub... Then you have the subs, yeah. Global health is a big job, obviously. It's a very big job. That's the biggest.
I don't even realize. I'm not as familiar with the portfolio.
What's the annual budget?
Wow.
Yeah. So what are things that you could not have done there in that role had you not had the leadership roles at Genentech and UCSF?
Performance was struggling, you mean? Performance was struggling.
