Kemur úr athyglisverðum félagsskap
27.2.2009 | 15:12
Norski milljónamæringurinn Svein Harald Øygard hefur verið skipaður Seðlabankastjóri til bráðabirgða. Svein starfaði um árabil hjá norska Seðlabankanum og var aðstoðarfjármálaráðherra Noregs 1990-1994, en reynsla hans af störfum á sviði ríkisfjármála er víðtæk svo vægt sé til orða tekið. Hvort það er kostur eða galli er svo annað mál í ljósi kringumstæðna...
Öllu merkilegri hlýtur þó að teljast vinnustaður hans í seinni tíð, en frá árinu 1995 starfaði hann hjá ráðgjafarfyrirtækinu McKinsey & Company. Fyrirtækið er leiðandi á sínu sviði og meðal viðskiptavina þess eru mörg af stærstu fyrirtækjum heims ásamt ríkisstjórnum og alþjóðastofnunum, en á lista yfir fyrrverandi og núverandi starfsmenn þar má finna ansi mörg athyglisverð nöfn. Það er að minnsta kosti ljóst að Sveinn Haraldur kemur úr mjög "alþjóðavæddu" starfsumhverfi, en ég birti hér nokkur útvalin dæmi um fyrrverandi kollega hans hjá McKinsey:

Jamm, það er hægt að átta sig á ýmsu um fólk með því að skoða hvar það hefur unnið, við hvað, og ekki síst með hverjum.
