Business From 1977 to 1985 Rumsfeld served as Chief Executive Officer, President, and then Chairman of
G. D. Searle & Company, a worldwide pharmaceutical company based in
Skokie, Illinois. During his tenure at Searle, Rumsfeld led the company's financial turnaround, thereby earning awards as the Outstanding Chief Executive Officer in the Pharmaceutical Industry from the
Wall Street Transcript (1980) and
Financial World (1981). In 1985, Searle was sold to
Monsanto Company. Rumsfeld is believed to have earned around $12 million from this sale.

Rumsfeld served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
General Instrument Corporation from 1990 to 1993. A leader in broadband transmission, distribution, and access control technologies for cable, satellite and terrestrial broadcasting applications, the company pioneered the development of the first all-digital
high-definition television (
HDTV) technology. After taking the company public and returning it to profitability, Rumsfeld returned to private business in late 1993.
From January 1997 until being sworn in as the 21st Secretary of Defense in January 2001, Rumsfeld served as Chairman of
Gilead Sciences, Inc. Gilead Sciences is the developer of Tamiflu (
Oseltamivir), which is used in the treatment of
bird flu.
[27] As a result, Rumsfeld's holdings in the company grew significantly when avian flu became a subject of popular anxiety during his later term as Secretary of Defense. Following standard practice, Rumsfeld
recused himself from any decisions involving Gilead, and he directed the Pentagon's
General Counsel to issue instructions outlining what he could and could not be involved in if there were an avian flu pandemic and the Pentagon had to respond.
