Getting “Spontaneously Candid” with Dan Carucci, Global Chief Medical Officer, McCann Health

October 21, 2021 • McCann Worldgroup • Season 1 • Episode 3

From the jungles of Panama and Honduras, to fighter jets in the Navy, to decoding the genome of one of the world’s most dangerous pathogens, to leading a next-generation vaccine program, to tracking chimpanzees with Jane Goodall, to creating one of the world’s most creatively awarded health campaigns, there isn’t much Dan Carucci hasn’t seen or done.

Dan’s credentials and experience are unlike those of any other leader in our network. He’s a physician and molecular biologist with over 30 years of experience in cutting-edge science. As a research physician with the US Navy, he led ground-breaking programs in genomics and proteomics, and next-generation vaccine development against malaria. After retiring from the Navy with the rank of Captain after 20 years active service, he was appointed as the first Director of the Grand Challenges in Global Health Initiative, a $200 million program for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As Vice President of Global Health at the United Nations Foundation, Dr. Carucci served on the board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.

He has published more than 80 peer reviewed papers in high impact journals such as Nature and Science, and holds two U.S. patents for vaccine technologies.

His professional credentials are well-known…his personal story and journey has remained hidden until now. Listen to this fascinating discussion between Dan and Harjot in this episode of “Spontaneously Candid”.
