the first person who came to mind for this role given his tremendous
experience with McKinsey."
Before
joining McKinsey in 2001, Leibowitz was a managing director at Idealab,
where he ran early stage e-commerce companies. He began his career as
an entrepreneur founding
retail, wholesale and e-commerce businesses.
