My Take
Dara Khosrowshahi is my kind of executive: the steady hand brought in to fix a mess rather than the founder chasing glory. Born in Tehran, he arrived in America amid upheaval, earned his way through Brown, ran Expedia, then inherited Uber at its most chaotic and quietly stabilized it. Turnaround work is thankless; you absorb the blame for old sins and rarely get credit for averted disasters. I admire operators who win trust through competence instead of charisma. His arc also strikes me as a genuine immigrant success story, the kind that quietly reshapes how the whole world moves.
