My Take
Lado Gurgenidze is the kind of profile I love digging into, because his range of titles is genuinely jarring. A Tbilisi-born career banker who suddenly served as Prime Minister of Georgia from 2007 to 2008 is no accident of timing; steering a country's economy demands a different nerve than running a balance sheet. I suspect he carried a financier's instinct for reading flows straight into governance. The Presidential Order of Excellence suggests it was substantive work, not a placeholder term. He's not flashy, but I think the quiet competence of numbers people deserves far more attention than it gets.
