Which photo? The header photo at the beginning of the article with a man working on apple laptop is not Wes McKinney. That is a stock photo of "a man works at his computer at the Airbnb office headquarters in San Francisco" [1]. There is a portrait of the actual Wes McKinney a little ways down the article.

I don't know why QZ thought it is a good idea to start a "Meet the man" article with a large photo of a man who is not the titular man.
