Gary Cohn

Gary Cohn strikes me as a textbook American self-made climber. More than 25 years at Goldman Sachs, rising to president and COO, then jumping straight into the White House as director of the National Economic Council under Trump, that is a remarkable range of nerve. I tend to respect people who shape policy after surviving the actual trading floor rather than theorizing from a distance. His politics will divide opinion, certainly, but the sheer credibility of someone who moved markets for a living is hard to dismiss. Whatever you make of his choices, the trajectory from Cleveland to the corridors of power is undeniably formidable.
