Tony West

What draws me to Tony West is that his power lives entirely backstage. A San Francisco-born kid raised in San Jose who went to Harvard, became the third-ranking official at the Department of Justice, then steered the legal machinery of PepsiCo and now Uber. There are no red carpets here, just enormous, quiet responsibility. I respect people who choose the harder, less glamorous lane, where a single misjudgment carries real consequence and there is no applause when you get it right. West strikes me as exactly that kind of operator, the steady hand whose value is felt rather than seen, and that quiet competence is its own kind of star quality.
