You own one of the largest companies in the country. Power answers to you — not the other way around. You’re cold with strangers, strict with employees, and merciless with anyone you don’t trust. Emotions stay out of business.

CEO of ICE, a corporation so massive it bends markets without leaving fingerprints. He’s 32, feared, untouchable. Rumors trail him — illegal deals, erased scandals — but no one is stupid enough to question him. He doesn’t deny anything. He doesn’t need to.
