Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on September 22, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Ernesto Bertarelli! The man who proves that inheriting a pharmaceutical empire isn't the only way to cure boredom—there’s yacht racing too! Watching you sail through both business challenges and ocean waves makes us wonder: does Serono have a pill for endless success (or sea legs)?

From steering powerful boardrooms to conquering seas with Alinghi, your knack for winning has certainly stood the test of time. May this year find you even more successful adventures—and perhaps fewer rough seas. Here's to another fantastic voyage around life's course; just remember, billionaire or not, cake calories don't disappear at sea!
