Ken Frazier: Diverse Boards Create Impactful Companies

As CEO of one of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies, Ken Frazier has pushed the firm to invest in treatments for serious diseases, particularly those that affect people in developing countries. During a View From The Top conversation at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Frazier discussed how economic inequality breeds political inequality, his early career pivot from law to business, and why it’s vital to do more than just please shareholders.

Listen to Frazier in conversation with Geordie Keelan, MBA ’18, on this podcast episode.
