Leadership

“We know why we get up every day and work as hard as we do. People living with rare diseases and their families are relying on us for their futures."

"We have this culture of innovating. And I don't just mean the science but also on healthcare policy. Everything we do is pretty unprecedented.” 

“I love being in an environment where we challenge thinking. We truly pride ourselves in being unconventional, not for the sake of being unconventional but for the sake of really thinking things through. We're not going to accept the benchmark as the way things are done.”

"From my very early conversations with the Sarepta team, it was apparent that patient focus was real at Sarepta, and not simply a convenient phrase. I was in and decided to come out of retirement to do what I love at a company where the vision and ambition around patient care matched my own.”

“Until my own son was born, witnessing a child with Duchenne get on therapy was the best day of my life. And I thought, imagine how I’ll feel if we can reach more kids. That’s why I ended up joining Sarepta.”

“I was drawn to Sarepta by the meaningful mission, the cutting-edge science and the belief that the future of the industry is in the potential to transform lives through precision genetic medicine.” 

“I met the parents of a young boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. They said, ‘We’re so grateful you’re developing this gene therapy, but we’re really worried because our son is deteriorating fast.’ Well, we have a sort of sacred responsibility to help him and all the other boys he represents. We cannot stumble. We cannot slow down. We all feel that urgency here.”

“I’m here to bring gene therapy to life. We have to be creative; we need to transform the paradigm. There isn’t a path to guide us. We’re making the path.”
