Anne Wojcicki is an innovative biologist and the co-founder and CEO of personal genomics company 23andMe.

In 2006, Anne saw a need for creating a way to generate more personalized information so that commercial and academic researchers could better understand and develop new drugs and diagnostics. The result was 23andMe, which provides genetic testing for individuals curious about their ancestry and genetic makeup.

It was named "Invention of the Year" by Time Magazine in 2008, and in 2013, The Fast Company named Anne “The Most Daring CEO.”

We spoke with Anne all about her upbringing and the story of how 23andMe came to be.
