William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But dont call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the U.S., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $1.6 billion in assets . In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. National identity makes no difference for me, he says. I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesnt matter where you are. Thats globalization. 寻找达沃斯人 彼得 甘贝尔· 威廉 布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿，在芝加哥长大，就读于加利福尼亚州的斯· 坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年 40 岁，过去 16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方，先是 在伦敦， 1996 年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值 16亿美元的资 产。 1998 年，他放弃美国护照，成为英国公民，因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。 “国家认同 对我来说不重要， ”他说， “我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友，又喜欢你所做 的事情，那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。 ” 2.
