It was a great honor and pleasure interviewing Dr Cary Adams for CancerWorld! Thanks a lot for sharing your story, Cary!”

Quoting CancerWorld‘s post:

“Cary Adams: A Career of Change, Changing Careers

Our first cover story is the life story of Dr Cary Adams. Moving from international banking to lead the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC): world’s leading organizations in cancer control and advocacy.

Over 16 years, Dr. Adams has transformed the UICC into a global leader in cancer control: growing membership from 350 → 1,000+, restructuring governance, launching initiatives like the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, City Cancer Challenge, The NCD Alliance, ATOM Coalition, and the McCabe Centre for Law on Cancer, and building a culture of collaboration that spans governments, NGOs, and communities.

Through it all, his guiding principle remains simple: “I want to have a positive impact on the lives of the people I meet.”

From banking to global health leadership, Cary Adams’ journey shows how openness to change, strategic vision, and a strong sense of purpose can reshape global health institutions.
