Earlier this week, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced that:
Jeff Raikes, 49, will succeed Patty Stonesifer as head of the world's largest philanthropy, managing a $37 billion endowment, $3 billion a year in grants, and ambitious goals such as eradicating malaria and developing a vaccine to prevent AIDS.How lucky that Raikes was right there at Microsoft all along. It's like Gates hired based on keywords, one of which is "my company."
