two new members of the Stanford BoT - 82lsju - 11-04-2025

one is a former water polo player and apparently a football season ticket holder

Quote:Stanford Board of Trustees elects two new members
Sarah J. Friar, MBA ’00, is the chief financial officer of OpenAI, and Bob Sternfels, BA ’92, is the global managing partner of McKinsey & Company.
...
"[Bob} Sternfels ['92] earned his bachelor’s degree in economics and history from Stanford in 1992 and his master’s degree in philosophy, politics, and economics from the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar in 1994.

Stanford has long been a “second home” for the Sternfels family. Both Sternfels and his wife, Ashley, competed as student-athletes for the Cardinal – he in varsity water polo and she in cross-country and track. Their three children attend Stanford, and the family’s game-day tailgate remains one of Sternfels’ favorite pastimes."

I don't understand how people with such demanding jobs also have time to raise families and pursue multiple volunteer endeavors like the Stanford Board of Trustees.  

Maybe they don't post on message boards..., but, still, it's baffling to me because I always feel overwhelmed with my non-C-Suite job and without the litany of volunteer stuff.
