...what the untrained eye would see.” Harms only played high school soccer for one year, losing a season due to a broken toe. But that hasn’t stopped the freshman from achieving success in what looks to be a promising collegiate career. Despite his laid-back California style, Harms has a strict routine he goes through in preparation for every match. “I usually listen to my music before games,” said Harms. “I’m particular about my warm-up.

Nonetheless, Roche will have to work hard to hang on to Genentech's laid-back culture, one that has always attracted top minds. "They know there won't be the same flexibility and creativity Genentech is known for," says biotech analyst Geoff Porges of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.
