From Forbes:
"Born in Berlin, Jarislowsky moved to Canada in 1949 after receiving his M.B.A. at Harvard. Six years later founded Jarislowsky-Fraser, which on behalf of institutional clients and high-net-worth individuals today manages $50 billion, up 20% in the last year. A champion of corporate governance in Canada, this year he cofounded the Institute for Governance of Private & Public Organizations, a research and training center in Montreal. His book Investment Zoo was a business bestseller in Canada last year, in both French and English. In addition to an eclectic art collection, which includes jade, Chinese furniture and Eskimo artifacts, owns private island in British Columbia with 16 miles of shoreline."
