Alumni Team Up to Fight Cancer
Bill Bowes (MBA ’52) and Kathy Giusti (MBA ’85) first met in 2009, when they were both honored with HBS’s Alumni Achievement Award. This cross-generational meeting would demonstrate not only the power of serendipity but also the power of HBS to convene remarkable people and to facilitate productive networking among its alumni community.
Bowes, founding partner of US Venture Partners, and Giusti, founder of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), discussed the need for innovative, results-oriented biomedical research and drug development models. Bowes was so impressed with Giusti and her work that last spring he presented the MMRF with a $4.8 million gift to further its pathbreaking cancer research.
Commented HBS professor Bill Sahlman, who introduced Bowes and Giusti, “Their collaboration shows how HBS alumni can and do make a difference in the world, virtually every day and usually without headlines.”
