Question #1
As Revolution Medicines transitions from a development-focused organization to a commercial one, will Goldsmith’s playbook of strategic pivots and deal-making prove a liability when disciplined operational execution and manufacturing scale-up are required for a successful launch?
Question #2
When faced with challenging clinical data, like the intolerability issues that plagued past combination trials, will Goldsmith demonstrate the objectivity to terminate a program or will his skill in narrative control lead him to push forward and risk significant capital?
Question #3
Now that Goldsmith has secured a massive balance sheet through shrewd financial engineering, will he demonstrate the capital discipline required to manage a high-burn late-stage and commercial buildout, or will his career-long focus on value creation through R&D spending lead to inefficient allocation?
