    Gilead Daniel O'Day: $18.
    99 million

    Gilead Daniel O'Day: $18.
    99 million

    Daniel O'Day, who has officially served as the chairman and chief executive officer of Gilead from March 1, 2019, is regarded as the most suitable leader to lead Gilead into the future.

    Daniel O'Day has worked at Roche for 30 years.
    He joined Roche Pharmaceuticals in 1987 and has held various positions in the United States.
    In 2006, Daniel O'Day served as President of Roche Molecular Diagnostics in California, then returned to Roche headquarters to lead the Roche Diagnostics department, and was later appointed as CEO of Roche Pharmaceuticals.

    Gilead has high hopes for this new leader, hoping that he can lead Gilead to reverse the decline in revenue for three consecutive years.
    The main task of Daniel O'Day is to find new sources of growth, and improving Gilead’s position in the oncology field is an important direction chosen by it.

    Gilead's salary for O'Day is also quite generous.
    O'Day's salary in 2019 was US$29.
    1 million, a 69% increase from the previous CEO John F.
    Milligan's salary of US$26 million in the 2018 fiscal year.

    2 million U.
    S.
    dollars to compensate for his departure from Roche; 5.
    68 million U.
    S.
    dollars to be paid in cash; and another 8.

    7 million in cash awards and US$1 million in other compensation.

    In 2020, Gilead, led by O'Day, will shine globally because of Remdesivir.
    However, this did not alleviate O'Day's anxiety.
    At the JP Morgan conference held in January this year, O'Day said that during his 10 months at Gilead, he mainly thought about 3 things every day:

    ① How long can Gilead’s core business (anti-virus business) last? How much revenue will it have in the next 10 years?

    ②What does Gilead hold today? What are Gilead’s internal and external expertise in accumulation and expertise?

    ③What is Gilead planning to buy? What is Gilead’s next-generation mergers and acquisitions?

    O'Day proposed that in the next 10 years, Gilead is confident to become the "king" in the field of anti-AIDS, and Biktarvy will become the growth engine of Gilead in the next 10 years.

    It is understood that the sales of Gilead’s anti-AIDS product Biktarvy reached US$7.
    259 billion in 2020, setting a single-drug sales record for AIDS drugs.
    In 2020, Gilead’s HIV drugs created nearly US$17 billion, an increase of 3% year-on-year.

    689 billion U.
    S.
    dollars, a year-on-year increase of 10%.
    However, unless the revenue of Redsey Veklury was 2.
    811 billion U.
    S.
    dollars during the special period, Gilead’s total revenue fell by 3% compared with 2019.

    In 2020, Moderna stock rose by 434%.
    According to data from S3 Partners, this increase caused Moderna's short position to lose $2.
