Kirsty Young's castaway this week is businessman Tidjane Thiam.

He's chief executive of the Prudential, but he's about as far from the archetypal "man from the Pru" as you can get.
The seeds of his success were sown amid the complex political terrain of the Ivory Coast with an extended family heavily involved in politics and a father imprisoned for his beliefs. His life quickly took on an international flavour from West Africa to Morocco, Paris to Washington, but in his early 30s a coup in his homeland left him high and dry. He says "I had no job, no career, nothing at all. It taught me a lot about myself. If you've been in a situation where you have nothing there's nothing much you're afraid of."

克斯蒂-杨本周的弃儿是商人Tidjane Thiam。

他是保诚银行的首席执行官，但他与典型的 "保诚银行的人 "相差甚远，因为你可以得到。
他成功的种子是在象牙海岸复杂的政治环境中播下的，他的大家庭大量参与政治活动，父亲因其信仰而被监禁。他的生活很快就有了国际色彩，从西非到摩洛哥，从巴黎到华盛顿，但在他30岁出头的时候，祖国的一场政变使他陷入困境。他说："我没有工作，没有事业，什么都没有。这让我对自己有了很多了解。如果你一直处于一无所有的情况下，就没有什么好怕的了。"
