DR. JACK KAVANAUGH AND HIS JOURNEY TOWARDS SUCCESS
Nagging
about the failures brings more of it while working to overcome it delivers a
better outcome. One such thing happened with Dr. Jack Kavanaugh and the way he
dealt with it brought a different result altogether. Here goes the intriguing
story of his amazing comeback after a turning point in his life.
Once
touching the heights in the field of dentistry, Dr. Jack Kavanaugh met with an unfortunate accident. It broke his leg
and neck, ultimately stopping him from practicing dentistry. However, this
didn’t dissuade him and he made another beginning. He went to the University of
California, Los Angeles to get his MBA degree and then worked in Mergers and
acquisitions. In the year 1984, he co-formed the International Strategy
Consulting Group.
Even
though he had his career settled in private equity, his zeal to learn powered
his steps towards medical sciences and he went to the University of Southern
California to do his M.D. degree. He completed his surgical residency from
Jules Stein Institute, U.C.L.A. After this, he remained a visiting professor
there.
In
the first year of his residency, he launched Amerident, a health care service
provider. Apart from over 30 community service awards, the amenities offered
fetched the firm with a state congressional medal of honor.
In
the year 2000, he conducted the first board meeting for Calhoun Vision, Inc. at
his home. This biotechnology firm developed the first light adjustable
intraocular lens to be used for cataract surgery. From the year 2000, he served
as the board member and as Chairman from the year 2008 till 2012.
His
proficiency in handling businesses can be proved with several records he has
created, one of which is of Tech Team (later Team Global). Under his direction,
the price of the share rose from 11 cents to $27 each. To add to his record
comes a major turnaround he gave to PreCash, a company that offers
telecommunication and financial services. Within a couple of years of Kavanaugh
staving off its insolvency, the firm was counted among the booming companies of
the U.S. in terms of profit.
In
the year 2008, he founded ZetaRx Biosciences, Inc, a leading company for immunotherapy
for treating cancer. He handled the posts of CEO and Chairman till June 2012.
However, he stayed as the consultant to the board. The firm was sold in late
2013 and became a crucial part of Juno Therapeutics. He is also the co-founder
of Novonvo Therapeutics, a company leading in epigenetics and other therapeutic
research.
Jack Kavanaugh
has continuously developed records in different platforms including dentistry,
ophthalmology, cancer therapeutics, and businesses. He is also a part of
several charitable institutions and is presenting his services in every
possible way.
