Geron




As an analyst I’ve heard my share of bullshit but nothing like today’s earnings call. It’s always everybody’s fault who is gone or distributors. Please just end the fantasy and sell the damn company. I doubt there would be any takers but everyone left is doing nothing but collecting a paycheck.
 


JZ is horrific- he is an embarrassment to pharma. He needs to be shown the door pronto! Don’t think we could have hired a worse leader. Hey JZ- do us all a favor and resign. We all know you suck and have zero clue.
 


JZ was a joke at Gilead, was an incompetent terror at Iovance and seems to be executing his typical playbook. He arms himself with constants, a ton of meaningless slides and speaks like a corporate robot. He’s never worked in Europe so don’t expect your EU strategy and execution to go well. Fire that loser and bring in a credible CCO who knows what to do.

9.12.2024 stock at 4.51, mkt cap at nearly 3B, JZ enters Geron, disruption follows this guy like herpes, hires DW, who causes disruption across all commercial teams, then JZ brings on JH, Mr. Unethical, now 9+ months later our stock hit a low of 1.19 mkt cap hit a low of 751M. Meet in Charlotte and SO says the disruption within Geron was caused by AK, & CS. A few of us day trade together and just wanted to show who actually effed it all up. Nice work JZ!
 










Company needs your survey results to determine how badly you hate the company and how soon you want to leave LOL
This place is a joke. You shouldn’t need a survey to know how abhorrent and incompetent leadership is, but now that they have it at least they can’t run away from the truth anymore.

Jim Z and Jim H are embarrassing. Neither have a clue what they are doing. Jim H is so useless and incompetent it’s actually painful to watch. This was Jim Z’s idea of great leadership?! My god, it’s pitiful. Geron is too far gone to save. Just sell the company and let someone else come in and get rid of the trash across every area of the entire org. If you’ve been here more than 1.5 years you’re fucked on stock and they’ve given away all of the money to useless new hires who are just as incompetent as the people who hired them.

We are all just looking for our next job. People don’t even care anymore to even discuss the issues bc nothing will change. It’s gotten quiet because we don’t care, but the clueless “leadership” thinks that the silence means everything’s getting better. Lol!
 


Chip, eager to impress Wall Street, lied to analysts about the market and its potential. He should have been honest about how long adoption takes—especially in complex therapeutic areas. It was never going to be a $300 million drug
 


H.C. Wainwright lowered 2025 revenue forecasts—from $297M to $212M—and peak-sales estimates to $1.5B from $2B. Management attributes the slowdown to seasonality, physician awareness limitations, competition, and post‑approval prescribing delays tied to required monitoring. What a load of horse shit. This drug’s potential is $250 million at best. Reason for sales decline is bringing in new commercial officer who is a failure and deviating from launch plan.
 


Ziegler has always been a very aggressive manager putting people on performance improvement plans and forcing people to leave by making the workplace very uncomfortable. Given how poorly the launch has gone and the fact that he’s the ultimate responsible person in charge of the commercial org, I hope he’s held to the same standards that he holds on his org.

He’s failed miserably as a CCO. The numbers don’t lie. He should look himself in the mirror and show true leadership by demonstrating accountability and step down.

His track record of failure from Geron to Iovance to getting sidelined at Gilead should tell him that he’s not meant for this game. He’s just too dumb to be successful. No matter how many buzzwords he uses, his brain just can’t comprehend the substance of the challenges he faces.

The interim CEO has a commercial background. All it should take is a 15 minute conversation with Ziegler to diagnose his inadequacies and understand he’s way way way over his head in this role.
