Secret behind the success of Lindsay Rosenwald
Lindsay Rosenwald is a well-known personality both in the field of business and medicine. He was one of the few people who were able to find the right mix for two very different disciplines and succeeded in both. What could be the secret behind his success?
Dr. Rosenwald’s accomplishments were basically rooted in his education. After graduating from Abington High School, he pursued Business at the Pennsylvania University and excelled academically that he ended up in the Beta Gamma Sigma, the university’s Honor Society in Business School. Even with this honor, he still felt that he had to do something because, in his heart, he really wanted to become a doctor. As such, he enrolled medicine at Temple University and later on became an intern at the Abington Hospital. Soon, he fulfilled his dream and became a certified doctor in 1983.
He went into private practice afterwards for two and half years but soon his equal love for business pulled him towards a different direction. In fact, while he was in pursuit of his medical degree, his business genius was still very apparent because he was became the financial adviser of physicians and professors and was also a consultant for a number of health companies. Moreover, he never missed out on reading Wall Street Journal. So, after more than two years of formally pursuing one passion while engaging in his other passion on the side, he made the big decision of merging these two passions in one profession.
He went to Wall Street and became a financial adviser for companies like D.H. Blair and Company. From then on, his success was unstoppable. Part of the accomplishments of Dr. Lindsay Rosenwald is the development of Cougar Biotechnology which was acquired by Johnson and Johnson for 1.2 billion US dollars. In medical research, he was responsible for the speedy development of Arsenic Trioxide, a drug for the management of leukemia. He is also the focal person for other medical and business breakthroughs like the establishment of stem cell and cancer vaccine businesses and a gene treatment company, all towards the benefit of hundreds of people who depend on these businesses.
The very secret behind the success of Dr. Lindsay Rosenwald is simply passion for what he is doing. There are some people who live their lives stuck in doings things they do not like doing in the first place for reasons like money, power or loyalty. But Dr. Rosenwald took the risk of engaging in both of his passions even while faced with uncertainty and, as a result, he ended up building an empire rooted on his love for business and medicine.
