My Take
Meg Whitman fascinates me as a study in range. The Princeton-educated executive who scaled eBay into a giant later became a U.S. ambassador to Kenya, and along the way shifted from Republican to Democrat. Some read that as opportunism; I read a pragmatist who follows results rather than dogma. Whatever you make of her politics, the ability to operate at the highest levels of both business and statecraft is genuinely rare. I admire people who carry several heavyweight titles convincingly, because it usually signals a restless intelligence that refuses to settle into a single identity.
