Pascal Finette.
Founded his first startup in the dot‑com days. Helped build eBay Germany. Co‑founded an art gallery in Berlin. Was on the Mozilla team that built Firefox. Quit Google.org after 90 days. Built the entrepreneurship program at Singularity University and became its Faculty Chair for Innovation. Founded radical, his fifth startup, and still runs it. Wrote five books: OUTLEARN, Disrupt Disruption, 960, GYSHIDO and The Heretic. GYSHIDO grew into a productivity movement, and 960 into a philosophy for living. Got called a genius on prime‑time German television, which was generous of them and not really true. Taught Pilates to Olympic marathoners. Climbs rock, snow and ice. Still shouts when he’s happy.
