Dr. Piedimonte’s Prescription for Success:
Number 1: Freedom. Success is dependent on the environment in which you operate. And so the first thing that I recommend to my trainees to remember that they are, they have this gift of being able to operate in the best country in the world, which is the United States.
Number 2: Innovation. Never look at where the puck is, always look at where the puck will be. What has made the United States what it is today is the intrinsic drive to entrepreneurship and innovation.
Number 3: Diversity. Diversity is critical. If you want to lead a globally successful enterprise, you need to have global talent. It doesn’t matter where people come from, what matters is the talent, the brilliance, the intelligence, the entrepreneurship they bring with them.
Number 4: Mobility. Never stay still and never become complacent with your status.

When you don’t have alternatives, the decisions become extremely simple.
Science is easy. Medicine is easy. People are difficult.
I fundamentally believe in the fact that if you do something right, if you do something, well, there is beauty in virtually anything that you do.
