CEO Hideaki Ogasawara is quoted in a news article from Gies College of Business, University of Illinois, on the fifth anniversary of its online MBA program. He was among the first cohort of the program and comments in the interview that he did not hesitate to quit his job and join colleagues to co-found Tanso Biosciences because of the insights and courage he had gained from Gies.
