DESCRIPTION:Anne Wojcicki is the CEO and Co-Founder of 23andMe. She co-foun
 ded 23andMe in 2006\, three years after the first human genome was sequenc
 ed. Her goal was audacious: to help people access\, understand\, and benef
 it from the human genome and fundamentally change healthcare in the proces
 s. Prior to founding 23andMe\, Anne spent a decade on Wall Street investin
 g in healthcare and felt frustrated by a system built around monetizing il
 lness instead of incentivizing prevention. She wanted to flip that model o
 n its head and build a business that helps people prevent illness rather t
 han profit from it. Anne focused on empowering people with direct access t
 o genetic information so that they could use their data to make decisions 
 that could lower their risks for disease. Under her leadership\, 23andMe n
 ow provides the only personal genetic test with FDA authorization to deliv
 er health information directly to consumers.\n\nFrom the beginning\, Anne'
 s goal and 23andMe’s mission has not wavered. Along with empowering cons
 umers with health information\, Anne wanted 23andMe to transform how resea
 rch discoveries are made and revolutionize the development of treatments f
 or disease. By inviting people to participate in research\, 23andMe is abl
 e to crowdsource billions of data points resulting in the world’s larges
 t resource for genetic research.\n\nAnne is a pioneer in the direct-to-con
 sumer DNA testing space and her vision and persistence have allowed 23andM
 e to provide people with unprecedented access to genetic information. Thro
 ugh its research platform\, 23andMe has brought personalized medicine dire
 ctly to millions of consumers.
