Rene wants to retire for 10 reasons: to complete a winter hiking challenge in New England, to avoid explaining risk numbers, for more space in his office, to join a friend's future ranch, due to ongoing disputes over documentation, before risk metrics decline, to publish his own journal, to avoid problems with receivables, because revenue targets seem unlikely, and due to office music selections. It has been an exhausting but inspiring journey that will continue forward after Rene's retirement.
