Michio Yoneda

Born in Nagasaki in 1949 and sharp enough to make it to Kyoto University — one of Japan's most competitive schools — Michio Yoneda is the kind of figure who operated quietly while the rest of the world was making noise. He came of age right in the thick of Japan's postwar economic boom and the campus unrest of the late '60s, so you have to imagine that era left some kind of mark on how he thought about building things. He joined the Bank of Japan in 1974, rose to lead the Osaka Securities Exchange from 2003, and went on to become chief operating officer of the Japan Exchange Group, the kind of steady institutional career I respect.
