2017 Jul C8 – Life At 100, How Longevity Will Transform Society

At CEO Insights, we talk a lot about human resources as people are the core of most businesses. In our generation, we are seeing transformational changes in our work forces as well as working lives. The potential of a very long life, more than 100 years old, is approaching very fast and will become commonplace within a few years. In 1900 the average life expectancy in the US was 47 and today is 79 and increasing every year.

The arrival of a very long life will have significant implications for individuals, employers and governments.
Among the key questions are:

・　　How do we continue learning?
・　　How do we change our current three stage life of education, employment and retirement?
・　　What will be the impact on families, work and education

This month’s CI will be presented by Gerald Lema, a C-Level executive with over 28 years of experience in major pharma and biotech companies. Currently, Gerald is Managing Director of Cylon Capital, a private investment firm investing in biotech, FinTech and industrial technology.
