Chairman of Brookfield Asset Management and Bloomberg Inc. Mark Carney, president of chips company Qualcomm Cristiano Amon, president of the private equity firm Blackstone Stephen Schwarzman, past assistant secretary of defense under the Clinton administration Graham Allison, and former head of the world’s largest delivery company FedEx Raj Subramaniam, among others.
