DR CHARLIE HSIAO WAS A LEGENDARY ENTREPRENEUR and a dear friend. He grew up in Taiwan in humble circumstances, as a tall shy boy, and made it to a good University studying pharmaceutics. He co-founded Ivax Pharmaceuticals, a generics powerhouse that grew to be one of the largest generics companies worldwide until sold to Teva for 7.4 Bn USD. Charlie went on to co-found Impax Labs with Larry Hsu, which today is worth over a billion. Sadly, he died of multiple myeloma a couple of years ago. I was honored to be one of two speakers at his funeral.
