The alternative funds industry is one in which understanding a manager’s investment ‘edge’ is often the primary focus.

I’m looking to expand on that and attempt to understand what motivates and influences how CIOs and founders run their businesses; be that a fund manager or a company executive.

Ultimately, what makes today’s CIOs tick? What elements of their personality and leadership style have contributed to their success?

In each show, I’ll focus my discussion around this primary theme to give listeners an opportunity to learn about today’s finance and business executives responsible for shaping how our economy operates, from start-ups to billion dollar funds.

You’ll not hear my guests talk up their portfolios or wax lyrical about their best investment idea.

Instead, you’ll find out how they navigated their way towards building a reputation and how they ‘think’ about what it means to be an inspirational CIO.

Each episode will be brought to you once a week. Regular as clockwork.
