Ian Jardine

“For the past 25 years, one person has stood out as Thermo Fisher’s greatest champion of innovation,” according to CEO Mark Caspar. That person is Ian Jardine. In presenting Thermo Fisher Scientific’s 2014 Lifetime in Innovation Achievement Award to Jardine, Casper described his “infectious passion for science,” and his “uncanny ability to predict what customers would need long before they knew themselves.”This publication also benefited from that insight: Ian served on the Editorial Advisory Board from pre-launch days up until this issue.
