Results of the Worst Pharma/Biotech CEO Survey

I made the mistake of mentioning the survey on the GTCB board, which may have biased the results. My own picks (FWIW) were Cox for 2008 and McKinnell for “all time.”

There were 37 votes on Q1 and 36 votes on Q2.


Q1: Who is/was the worst pharma/biotech CEO in 2008?

Geoff Cox of GTCB: 65%
Kelly Martin of ELN: 14%
Harvey Berger of ARIA: 8%
Bruce Carter of ZGEN: 5%
Mitch Gold of DNDN: 5%
Dan Bradbury of AMLN: 3%
Howard Pien of MEDX: 0%
Gérard Le Fur of SNY: 0%


Q2: Who is/was the worst pharma/biotech CEO of all time?

Geoff Cox of GTCB: 44%
Hank McKinnell of PFE: 17%
Sam Waksal of IMCL: 17%
Donal Geaney of ELN: 8%
Peter Dolan of BMY: 6%
Ray Gilmartin of MRK: 3%
Kevin Sharer of AMGN: 3%
Mitch Gold of DNDN: 3%
Bill Haseltine of HGSI: 0%


Thanks to all of the participants for participating.
