Farewell António Borges

I met António Borges in London some 10 years ago. Our conversations were always lively, as he had a rare ability to be pleasant yet to discuss an issue in-depth. While he dressed as a banker and worked at Goldman then, he was certainly funnier than most bankers I met.

We will not discuss again, we will not hear him throwing jokes around. More importantly, we will not benefit from his business and economic acumen. He was a man of deep convictions – a lesson to all of us. He was extremely confident in the future and he believed in people – especially young people.

Farewell António.
