The changing face of business


I was very surprised to hear that today marks the first full day that a black man is in charge of a FTSE 100 business. Tidjane Thiam is the new Chief Executive of Prudential.

Who would have thought we would have had a black US President before 1 of the UK's top 100 companies had a black leader.

And, to add to the joy of the story itself, the insurance giant's share price went up 13% after the news was released.
