Jack Yuan, CEO of Generali China Insurance
When Jack Yuan visited China in January 2020, he expected huge celebrations for the Chinese New Year. Instead, he discovered a “ghost town” in a city of 15 million people. He also saw how unprepared the rest of the world was for the event. That led Jack to create a $200 million supply chain that has so far deliveredmore than 340 million masks and 700 million pairs of gloves.
Tianchi Medical
Jack Yuan has achieved early success in the medical supply chain business. The company now focuses on the U.S. and Brazil, two huge markets with populations of over 550 million people. The CEO has a vision for the future of the company. Here is how he is working towards that goal.
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in China in January, Yuan was in his hometown when the pandemic began. He spent his lockdown time procuring PPE supplies for the region, a business that eventually grew into a global B2B medical supply chain company. Today, Tianchi Medical partners with government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and hospitals to provide PPE to healthcare professionals.
COVID-19
Jack Yuan is an undergraduate student at Stanford University. During the first days of the COVID-19 outbreak, he was home in China. The country had just begun to quarantine its cities and begin using personal protective equipment. Yuan decided to do something about it and built a company to deliver personal protective equipment to hard-hit areas. His company, Tianchi, has now helped hundreds of organizations respond to the outbreak.
Jack Yuan COVID-19 is a complex disease that still has no proven cure. The disease is particularly devastating for low and middle-income countries because health care resources are scarce, including intensive care units. Several studies have revealed the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients and identified some risk factors associated with fatal outcomes.
Generali
Generali China Insurance’s CEO Jack Yuan could have spent his life working with Colonel Sanders or running a finger-licking good franchise, but he chose the path of protecting people. In fact, Jack has been protecting people for 25 years. In his first year at Generali, he wrote Opportunities on a piece of paper and Issues on another. His background was well suited to the challenges he’d face as a CEO. Before joining Generali, Jack held senior positions with AXA, including CEO of AXA’s health unit and Chief Strategy Officer.
PICC
After graduating in polymer science from Fudan University in Shanghai, Jack Yuan worked in the chemical industry for four years. However, he soon recognized the limitations of that kind of career and looked for new opportunities outside of the industry. He received job offers from KFC, manufacturing, and insurance companies.
The risk of CLABSIs is highest in the 2 weeks following PICC insertion and remains elevated until the catheter is removed. Because of this, clinicians should review the need for a PICC on a daily basis and optimize catheter maintenance practices. They should also investigate novel CLABSI prevention strategies in PICCs with long dwell times.
