C.S. Venkatakrishnan, who is known as Venkat at the bank, said in a note to colleagues that he will begin undergoing treatment for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. “The good news is that the matter has been detected early, with scans and biopsies confirming it to be very localized,” he said. “The doctors have advised that my prognosis is excellent, and my condition is curable with their prescribed regimen.

During that time, the CEO said the bank “will run normally” and he will remain “actively engaged in managing it,” though he will at times need to work from home and will not be able to travel. Venkatakrishnan has held the top job at Barclays\n \n for one year, taking over after the resignation of predecessor Jes Staley. He previously served as the bank’s head of global markets and chief risk officer.

A sign of poor business planning. Someone w critical medical need should be free to take care of it. Business goes on, others control. If you've taught them well, others step in. Maybe good time for succession planning. Stop praising workaholism Cancer needs focus. Best of luck.
