The wanton murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson left Robert Sterling, CFO of a sports nutrition startup and a former exec at Koch and Cargill feeling shaken. In response, Sterling took to LinkedIn. He penned a post praising how Thompson rose from humble beginnings to become a prominent executive who oversaw a company with over 100,000 employees, and whose insurance unit is expected to bring in $280 billion in revenue this year.
“This guy—not the person who murdered him in cold blood—was everything that’s right and good about America, and the American Dream,” Sterling wrote.
