Shrewd and combative investor

Mr. Deane ... had a reputation as a shrewd and combative investor, kept a stuffed white Alaskan timber wolf in his office as “a reminder,” he once said, “that you should always keep your organization lean and hungry.” A wolf also adorned the letterhead of his company, Corporate Property Investors, symbolizing both his lone wolf approach to investing and the dog-eat-dog world in which he operated.

One can imagine how it would be to work for him.
