Ajay Banga said that the company’s growth and prosperity has been driven by a social compact that emphasizes “doing well by doing good.”
The head of Mastercard told a virtual audience this week that his company’s success for the past decade is because of “a healthy dose of good luck,” the global shift toward a cashless society, and a workplace culture that promotes financial inclusion as a social compact.
The digitalization of the world economy has been like “wind in our sails,” fueling the company’s successful strategy to diversify its businesses and client base, said Ajay Banga, speaking in a Feb. 16 event hosted by the University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School.

What is there to say about the 2021 Golden Globe nominations? Every year, they float into the weary gray winter to offer up fresh amusement for critics, awards watchers, and anyone who just needs to say

First, a reminder: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association the group that gives out the Golden Globes is a secretive body of about 90 people but never more than 100, and they don’t publish their membership roster. But to join, journalists must (ostensibly) fulfill a couple of basic requirements: Members must be based in Southern California but work for a non-US media outlet. And their main journalistic beat must be Hollywood.
