Margrethe Vestager

Born in Denmark to Lutheran ministers, Margrethe Vestager followed a path less divine and more… regulatory. After a stint as Denmark's Minister for Economic Affairs and the Interior, she ascended to the European Commission, where she quickly earned a reputation for not suffering corporate fools gladly, especially when those fools were trying to corner the market.

As the European Commissioner for Competition, Vestager has taken on behemoths like Apple, Google, and Amazon, dishing out fines that would make a dragon blush. She's the kind of public servant who believes strongly in fair play, ensuring that consumers aren't fleeced and competition isn't choked out of existence. Her relentless pursuit of antitrust violations has made her both a hero to some and a headache to others, particularly those with deep pockets and global ambitions.

Despite her stern professional demeanor, Vestager is known for a dry wit and a penchant for Nordic sweaters. While her actions might strike fear into the hearts of monopolists worldwide, her heritage is firmly rooted in Danish Lutheranism, making her about as Jewish as a plate of æbleskiver. So, no hidden menorahs or secret latke recipes here, just a powerful politician doing her very European job.
