Taking Stryker Forward: An Interview with Steve MacMillan

A former pharmaceutical executive, Steve McMillan was tapped three years ago to replace John Brown as CEO of Stryker Corp. Following someone who had been in the post 30 years was daunting enough; even more so was continuing the record of strong financial performance that Stryker had maintained throughout its history. In this Interview adapted from the "From the Innovator's Workbench" series sponsored by Stanford University's BioDesign program, McMillan talks about the challenges he faced.
