· high confidence. Listed among Moderna's founders. No source opened shows a current Moderna board or executive role (Moderna's leadership page does not list him among the current board; Forbes, opened 2026-10-18, mentions no board role). Forbes says he owns about 3% of Moderna and has never sold a share; that holding rests on Forbes alone, since no SEC beneficial-ownership filing naming him was found, so the profile now attributes it to Forbes.
