McKinsey alum pivots to Gouda, proving all problems are curable.

The sheer audacity of becoming a philanthropic billionaire cheese maker. One wonders if his true genius lay not in shaping global financial institutions through his work at McKinsey, but in ensuring the world never runs short of moderately aged dairy products. Perhaps the most profound legacy is the audacious goal of `Gouda` for all, achieved by the subtle art of charging exorbitant consulting fees for efficient curding, thus elevating a humble dairy product to an instrument of global influence.

Such luminaries share the spotlight with other towering figures: the Major League Baseball draftee who pivoted seamlessly from bat to boardroom, the architect of persuasive consumer desires, and the cognitive scientist who foresaw AI but perhaps not the inherent irony of his obit being sandwiched between a cheese mogul and a champion of Afghan girls. The collective impact on humanity is, undeniably, well-preserved.
