There are many things that I remember about Christine Lagarde during my stay in France. She was the Minister for Economy who went on to become the Director General of the IMF and then currently is the Head of the European Central Bank. A stellar career and an Internationalist, speaks English without the usual French flaws and very culturally sensitive. I remember when she visited Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (a developing conservative Muslim country), she insisted on wearing a dress designed by a Malaysian designer resident in France. She is well known for her power dressing and is still considered one of the more powerful women in the face of the planet. She is well known in Europe.
Yuval is Israeli, a professor of History and currently ranked one of the most Intellectual of thinkers in this planet. A keen observer of change and predictor of scenarios of destruction and success of the future, he is ardent student of Vipassana Meditation and spends time annually in India. His predictions about Artificial Intelligence ar worth listening to. His three published books are all worth reading and a new one is just out.
