# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  José Manuel Durão Barroso was born 23 March 1956, a law professor who entered Portuguese politics and served as prime minister from 2002 to 2004. He moved to Brussels that year as president of the European Commission, a post he held until 2014. Two months after his mandatory cooling-off period ended, he took a chair at Goldman Sachs International as senior adviser and non-executive chairman. The move triggered an ethics inquiry and became one of the EU's most widely covered revolving-door cases.
