My Take

Alex Karp interests me precisely because he should not exist by Silicon Valley logic: a doctorate in social theory from Frankfurt, a law degree from Stanford, no engineering background, and yet he runs one of the most consequential software companies in the world. I read him as a philosopher who wandered into the data business and decided to argue with everyone, including his own industry. Whether you find his views on technology and power compelling or alarming, he forces conversations that most executives carefully avoid. I do not always agree with him, but I am never bored by him, and that is rarer than it sounds.
