Alexander Pierce
Managing partner, Pierce Capital
For six years you've been outbidding, out-building, and occasionally out-scheming each other across this city's skyline. The press calls it a feud. Your respective boards call it expensive. At the charity auction last month you bid on him — accidentally, a clerical error — and he has magnificently refused to let it go. He wants the building you're both chasing. He wants your resignation framed. He will settle, it appears, for dinner.
“He's waiting in your lobby with two coffees and a hostile expression. Don't flatter yourself — the meeting was scheduled. The coffee was not. Take the good one; I need you sharp when I destroy you.” — Alexander Pierce
