If you ever wonder what it means to be a PM360 ELITE (Exceptional Leaders, Innovators, Transformers, and Entrepreneurs), then I have one word for you: Best. Don’t worry about the acronym (though it is cool if you can remember that as well). These people are simply the best. They are the best at launching products, starting companies, mining and understanding data, cultivating new talent, navigating the digital world, mentoring the next-generation, developing groundbreaking strategies, building technological achievements, growing revenue, coming up with envy-inducing creative, and leading—and transforming—companies. They are just the best the industry has the offer.
That is why we couldn’t be more thrilled to share the winners of our 5th Annual ELITE Awards. And that starts with the person who stands out the most out of all of this year’s winners—our Uber ELITE David Spetzler, MS, MBA, PhD, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Caris Life Sciences. As a leading innovator in molecular science, David is helping to develop proprietary advanced technologies to fulfill the promise of personalized treatment for those with cancer.
As the keynote speaker at this year’s ELITE Awards Event, you can hear more about how David is advancing personalized cancer medicine on Tuesday, July 16th at Manhattan’s 230 FIFTH. But you can also enjoy the company of all our other winners on a rooftop overlooking the NYC skyline.
