They are not killing it, in fact, starting a company takes its toll on ones personal life, the CEO of Atara is booted for "personal reasons", the CEO of A2 is recently divorced from his long estranged wife, and the CEO of ADRx, JT is newly divorced from our old Amgen friend Alison Moore.
Don’t know JT, but do know AM and can safely say the guy is better off without her. Woman rides a broomstick to work.
Kristen Yarema is the biggest loser at Atara. Total hack at Amgen. So is her husband. Another McKinsey loser.
Agree she is awful. Totally worthless and toxic to everything she's around. Amgen protected her for a long time. Took way too long to get rid of her. She was only protected because of her husband, who also happens to run a group that practically does absolutely nothing. Strategy at Amgen does nothing and the commercialization group is really great and taking credit for other people's work.
