Further to the opening paragraph, a claim to fame: I once folded (former British prime minister) Harold Macmillan’s underpants. Long retired and Lord Stockton by then.

I stopped carrying them years ago. Email sig and an easily-found personal page (for which purpose your Twitter page might be a starting point) and you’re good. What else do you need?

> Difficult to couple OKRs with tasks Depends perhaps on what you mean by “task”, but I don’t get this one. Surely your OKRs are how you measure success of most of what you do that quarter, and there are only a few of them. What value do

Ex UBS employee here, 12 years including Swissbank pre merger. They do more than most to avoid negative publicity, especially any that might come from legal action. Related to that (or not) and very much on the plus side, they are (or at le
