This guy deserves a lot of credit. "Isambard Kingdom Brunel"
("Isambard" is a Norman name of Germanic origin, meaning "iron-bright".)

Basically he built the foundations of the industrial revolution.

I'm not sure he's "of today". If that was the case, then might we include folks like Henry Ford or Winston Churchill?

The three guys that you listed first aren't bad, but I guess we would need a better idea what "great men" means to the OP or even the various posters. Maybe that would be good, tell us your great man and tell us why you think he's great.
