Ronald Mutie loves to tell a good story. Like how he shows up for his kids, who are too small to know the ways the world beyond the gate could hurt them. Or how he got into this career. They wanted him to be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer. But he had not read the script. He trusted the gods, who wrote him this character, as the Big Kahuna, the CEO of Karen Blixen Group, which owns, among other things, the Karen Blixen Museum.
He hasn’t done too shabbily for himself. It is here in Karen, which is eponymous to the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden, where the who’s who of the who’s frequent. Mutie remains unfazed, or if he is, he betrays not a flicker of it. This year, he says, he is not throwing pity parties. “I’ve been a good boy this year.”
