It's certainly notable to any US domiciled person. How many Zambian born CFO's do you know? How many Zambian born people do you know?

None! I also don’t know anyone from Mason City, Iowa. But everybody’s gotta be from somewhere.

Seriously, if you’re writing a whole article about someone it seems worthwhile to mention if they’re from Zambia, but if you’re writing a single sentence it’s a bit off putting.

look, in essence, I hear what you are saying, but when considering the readership of Bloomberg News, Mason City, Iowa and Zambia is a false equivalency.
