	Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen: President and CEO of LEGO
		Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, the boss of the Danish toy giant Lego describes it as that defining ‘aha’ moment – when we are able to see things not as they are, but as they could be.

		Yet Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen (the first to admit that his initials are unlikely to be a major vote winner in the United States) has been able to deliver a couple of broadsides to his those who might cynically point the till-ringing finger at him.
