Welcome to the CEO Diet, a monthly series in Bloomberg Businessweek in which executives from around the world tell us how they manage their time in and out of the office. Among the topics they’ve discussed: their favorite productivity hacks, how they optimize sleep and what they listen to on their commutes, as well as the shows they can watch on repeat.
