彭安杰

人们将选择在哪里生活，万事达（MasterCard）总裁及首席执行官彭安杰（AjayBanga）说，资本将跟随人的脚步。

People will choose where to live , says Ajay Banga , president and chief executive of MasterCard . Capital will follow where people go .

没有多少公司高管愿意坦承，曾把打扫卫生间作为历练自己的一项内容，但万事达（mastercard）首席执行官彭安杰（ajaybanga）却不是人们通常印象中的公司高管。

Not many corporate chiefs would admit to having cleaned bathrooms as part of their training , but Ajay Banga , chief executive of MasterCard , is not your typical business leader .

彭安杰出生于印度，曾在花旗集团（Citigroup）、百事（Pepsi）和雀巢（Nestlé）任职，目前在纽约工作。

为了加快决策流程，彭安杰在合同谈判方面给予了低级别员工更多权限，并创建了新的部门，以便更好地与贝宝（paypal）等在线电子支付系统展开竞争。

To speed up decision-making , Mr Banga has given lower-level employees more authority to negotiate contracts and has created a new division to better compete with electronic payment systems such as PayPal .

尽管奔走于全球各地，彭安杰却没有放弃自己的印度传统。

彭安杰设法给员工灌输紧迫感，这同样也适用于他本人。

The urgency Mr Banga is trying to instil in employees also applies to him .

扮演企业心理学分析师的角色，与彭安杰刚刚起步时的生活有着天壤之别。

Playing the role of corporate psychoanalyst is a world away from where Mr Banga started .

13年后，彭安杰签约成为百事餐饮印度区营销主管。

Thirteen years later , Mr Banga signed on as director of marketing for PepsiCo restaurants in India .

当彭安杰获悉百事打算剥离其餐饮业务时，认定改变职业生涯的时候到了。

即将年满50的时候，彭安杰开始认真思考自己职业生涯的剩余时间想做些什么。

With his 50th birthday looming , Mr Banga started to think seriously about what he wanted to do with the rest of his career .

虽然两人相隔遥远，但两人定期通过电子邮件保持联系，连彭安杰自己都说，他对两人之间通信的频率已经不再做记录了。

Despite their lack of proximity the two men e-mail each other so regularly that the CEO says he no longer keeps track of how frequently they correspond .

为了确保万无一失，彭安杰商定了一笔420万美元的签约费，如果万事达未能兑现承诺，这笔钱将归他所有。

Just to be sure , Mr Banga negotiated a $ 4.2m signing bonus that would have been his if MasterCard failed to make good on its promise .

因此，当一位猎头深夜把电话打到他香港的家中，询问他是否愿意出任万事达首席营运官时，彭安杰顿时来了兴致。

So when a headhunter called him at his Hong Kong home late one night to talk about becoming the chief operating officer of MasterCard , he was intrigued .

本刊一再要求彭安杰评价一下两人之间的关系，但他坚持认为，哈森维特主要是作为他与公司董事会之间的协调者，而不是他个人的盟友。

When pressed to expand on their relationship , though , Banga insists that haythornthwaite acts chiefly as a facilitator between him and the board & not as his ally .

性格外向的彭安杰鼓励员工随时光顾他的办公室，谈论从餐厅咖啡质量到国际事务的任何问题，他也会特别直率，这种个性影响到了其他高管。

An extrovert , who encourages staffers to drop by his office to discuss everything from the quality of the coffee in the cafeteria to world affairs , Mr Banga can also be extremely blunt , a quality that has rubbed off on other executives .
