My Take
Vikram Pandit fascinates me because of the sheer nerve his career required. Born in Nagpur, educated at Gannon University, he rose to become CEO of Citigroup in December 2007, taking the wheel of a banking giant on the very eve of the financial crisis. Steering that ship through the wreckage was not a job for the faint of heart, and whatever one thinks of the outcome, the audacity commands respect. His Padma Bhushan and his current chairmanship of The Orogen Group confirm a restless dealmaker who refuses to coast. To me, he embodies the high-stakes immigrant climber who never stops betting on himself.
