Alain J. P. Belda has been a Managing Director of Warburg Pincus since 2009. Previously he was the Chairman of the Board of Alcoa from January 2001; he was Chief Executive Officer from January 2001 until May 2008.

While CEO of Alcoa in 2007, Alain J. P. Belda earned a total compensation of $25,646,420, which included a base salary of $1,457,500, a cash bonus of $3,000,000, stocks granted of $6,978,791, and options granted of $13,558,026.

On October 6, 2005, in the paper EXAME in São Paulo, Brazil, there appeared an article by journalist Alexa Salomão, where Belda was quoted as saying Alcoa was paying Brazilians twice as much for energy for the corporation's Brazilian aluminum smelters, as it was paying Iceland's state-run energy firm Landsvirkjun: "...the agreed price — 30 dollars per megawatt-hour — was far from ideal. In Iceland, the company pays half that." ([1]) When this news reached Icelandic media, on June 7, 2006 ([2], [3]), the reaction was negative from environmentalists opposed to the already controversial Kárahnjúkar hydroelectric dam, and others, as Icelandic citizens and other firms pay 8 times that.

James "Jimmy" Glass (born 1 August 1973 in Epsom, Surrey, England) is a former football goalkeeper. Glass is remembered for scoring the last-minute goal which kept Carlisle United in the Football League in 1999. The drama of Glass's late goal, which came in one of only three games that he played for Carlisle, has since made it famous in English football at a level beyond its immediate ramifications. Beyond the Carlisle goal, Glass's most notable time with a club was three seasons playing for Bournemouth from 1996–1998. Bournemouth was the only Football League club for whom he was a regular member of the first team, and Glass retired from football in 2001 aged 27.

Glass had a journeyman's career in football, playing for many clubs, initially as a reserve keeper for Crystal Palace. The closest he came to a trophy was reaching the final of the Football League Trophy with Bournemouth in 1998 – unfortunately Glass scored an own goal in the match, and Bournemouth lost 2–1. This was not the first time a goalkeeper had scored an own goal at Wembley however, Bruce Grobbelaar had scored one in the 1984 Charity Shield for Everton against his team Liverpool. Glass moved to Swindon Town in the summer of 1998, but after falling out with the manager, Jimmy Quinn, was unable to gain a regular place in the team.
