Biographical information
According to The Times
- A persistent myth that follows Mr Gnodde around is that he was in the South African secret services, or alternatively that country’s equivalent of the Special Boat Service. His 6ft 4 inch frame may explain these misconceptions, but in fact he did his national service in the South African navy. He read law at Cambridge, joined Goldman in 1987 and moved to Japan ten years later.
Gnodde is married with three children. Asked by The Times to give names of contacts and friends who might cast light on his character [1]
