The New York Times Sunday Magazine profiles Richard W. Pound, chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency and Canadian tax lawyer:

[Pound] runs WADA and also holds down more big jobs and positions than would seem humanly possible: partner at a top law firm, chancellor of McGill University, member of the I.O.C. and editor of something called Pound’s Tax Case Notes.

He is a tax lawyer by trade….Kip Cobbett, the managing partner at Stikeman Elliott, Pound’s law firm, describes his colleague as almost frighteningly efficient: “You ask him for a memo on some complicated topic, it’s on your desk 15 minutes later, and it’s perfect.” … Pound … only rarely gets bogged down in the loftier questions. He’s a man who identifies a challenge and puts his head down and works. There’s a tax code. There can be a drug code.
