Of course he is in industry for the financial rewards. otherwise he might work for a nonprofit or some other such altruistic pursuit

I personally believe Dr. Pierce wants to cure melanoma.

Maybe someone in his family has died of it. Who knows. He was definitely motivated enough to leave Merck to pursue this in a more focused way.

The stock options and financial rewards go with being a person of his importance to his company and the field of oncology and immunology.
