For the September issue of WIRED surveyed their network to identify the 100 most influential people in Europe, and for some reason they decided to list me here as well:) Thanks to Wired for the honour and kind consideration! At #88 I feel very well placed – after all it's a lucky number in China, Japan and many other Asian countries.
