Trump valitsi suomalaistaustaisen johtajan neuvonantajien rinkiinsä
Suomalaistaustainen toimitusjohtaja Mary Barra on mukana Trumpin neuvonantajien ringissä.
Yhdysvaltain presidentiksi valittu Donald Trump nimesi perjantaina joukon isojen yhtiöiden toimitusjohtajia, joiden hän kertoo ryhtyvän hallintonsa neuvonantajiksi, kertoo yhdysvaltalainen Politico-lehti.
Trumpin siirtymäajan tiimin perjantaisen ilmoituksen mukaan ryhmässä on Wall Streetin ydinjoukkoa ja isojen yhtiöiden toimitusjohtajia. Heidän on tarkoitus jakaa säännöllisesti Trumpin kanssa näkemyksiään.
Neuvonantajafoorumin joukossa on myös autoyhtiö General Motorsin suomalaistaustainen toimitusjohtaja Mary Barra. HS kertoi tammikuussa muun muassa, että Barran ”voi nostaa hyvällä syyllä menestyneimmäksi ’melkein suomalaiseksi’ yritysjohtajaksi”. Voit lukea jutun Barrasta täältä.
Neuvonantajarinkiä johtaa pääomasijoitusyhtiö Blackstonen toimitusjohtaja Stephen A. Schwarzman, ja siinä ovat lisäksi muiden muassa pankkiiriliike JP Morganin Jamie Dimon, varainhoitoyhtiö Blackrockin Larry Fink, Walt Disney -viihdejätin Bob Iger sekä vähittäiskauppaketju Walmartin Doug McMillon.
