British Challenge for AC33?

Our ever-reliable search engines just returned this tidbit from the UK's BrandRepublic website, in a story about the "Power 100" -- a list of the 100 most influential figures in the UK marketing industry.

In 12th spot (just ahead of Sir Richard Branson of Virgin, etc. fame):

12. SIR KEITH MILLS - LOCOG
Last year was all about London 2012, and chief executive Sir Keith Mills has surely received more awards over the past 12 months than his mantelpiece can handle. After a knighthood from the Queen, he was named Business Leader of the Year at the London Business Awards 2005. London 2012 organising committee (LOCOG) chairman Lord Coe may have been the face of the bid team, but Mills has been rightly recognised by many as having been equally important in bringing the Olympics to the capital for the first time since 1948. Mills now operates in a non-executive role for LOCOG, but if it all gets too much, he can always relax on his rather large yacht. An avid sailor, he is now heading a British challenge for the America's Cup.
