Wow! This guy knew a lot about working in an environmental/social/governance framework, AND he knows enough about money to have been an international central banker?

I knew Carney was great, but I didn't know he was so well-qualified too.

Carney was the governor of the Bank of Canada through the financial crisis and Canada was one of the least affected developed countries. To be fair, Canada’s insular banking system also helped limit exposure, but Carney’s handling of the situation was good enough that the UK made him the first non British governor of the Bank of England, during which period he oversaw the whole Brexit saga, where again his handling of the UK economy was extremely highly regarded.

There are justifiable question about whether he will be a good PM but he is probably one of the most successful central bankers of all time.
