On why business must respond: “The coming together of the pandemic and social justice really put a bullseye on us. All of us in business now can’t just step aside and think these problems are going to solve themselves. All of us who are employers have to step up.”
—Margaret Keane, CEO, Synchrony
On putting employees first: “I’ve been reminded of some important timeless principles, but first and foremost is that it’s about the team.”
—Larry Culp, CEO, GE
On the speed of change: “This whole circle of change is coming faster and closer…The real differentiator of us as leaders is being able to navigate change.”
—Barbara Humpton, CEO, Siemens USA
On the defining moment: “It occurred to me in early March that this was going to be my defining moment as CEO…How do we make sure we do the harder right, rather than the easier wrong?”
—Chip Bergh, CEO, Levi Strauss
On China: “Capitalism and capital markets could in a few years be more embraced in China than in the United States.”
—Ray Dalio, founder, Bridgewater Associates
On the wait for a vaccine: “We have already manufactured hundreds of thousands of doses, and reequipped five manufacturing sites around the world. We will be ready if the FDA approves the vaccine…We have committed to the US government to provide this year 30 million to 40 million doses.” By the end of the first quarter “we will have up to 100 million doses.” (The Pfizer vaccine requires two doses per person.)”
—Albert Bourla, CEO, Pfizer
