  • My name is Laura Forese. I'm Class of '83, civil engineering and operations research.

  • I'm currently the chief medical officer and chief operating officer at New York Presbyterian

  • Weill Cornell. At New York Presbyterian, I'm responsible for the Weill Cornell campuses.

  • It's about a thousand beds on two different sites, and I have the honor of essentially

  • making things go. The chance to talk to patients and to staff really at all levels is one of

  • the most important things that I do. My assistant would tell you that she often can't find me

  • because my favorite thing is to escape and just wander around the institution. Right

  • after I left Princeton, I went immediately to medical school, and there it was pretty

  • clear to me that I wanted to be a surgeon. The field I ended up in is orthopedic surgery,

  • where my engineering background was a tremendous asset. Matthew Larson was a little boy that

  • I knew well who was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age two, and he fought a valiant

  • effort for about five years, but ultimately he succumbed. His family started the Matthew

  • Larson Foundation for Pediatric Brain Tumor Research. Currently, I'm chair of the medical

  • advisory committee. We've been able to raise millions of dollars for this foundation, and

  • we're delighted to be able to sponsor cutting-edge research.ÊI hope that we'll be able to cure

  • this disease so that no children, no family will be affected in the same way that I've

  • seen the Larson family affected. I think surgery has a lot of parallels that I can draw on

  • when I think about leadership. As a surgeon, you are the captain of the ship, but you are

  • not there alone, so you need to have a team with you. You need to delegate, otherwise

  • you won't be successful; that patient won't make it. Now, you have got to be transparent

  • and explain to people what you need done, because no one can understand completely what

  • you, as the surgeon, are thinking. But you have got to be willing and able to be decisive.

  • You know, in an O.R., the patient's not going to make it if you just stand there. And similarly,

  • as a leader, sometimes you don't have all the information that you want. You have got

  • to be willing to say, "I am going to go with the best information that I have. I am going

  • to make the best decision that I can. And if we were wrong we'll admit it and we'll

  • fix it but we won't just stand there." My name is Laura Forese, and I'm a Princeton

  • Engineer.
