Yesterday, I had a fascinating interview/conversation with Dominique Mielle – she was a partner at Canyon Capital, $25B HF where she worked for 20 years, and is the author of “Damsel in Distressed” which surprisingly turns out to be the very first memoir ever written by a woman who was working at a hedge fund (it’s a fun romp through 1998-2018).
We discussed the lack of female representation at hedge funds and why that represents a bad investment strategy. part of our conversation covered the minor improvements we have seen in finance in general and how much the hedge fund industry lags.
When I first started doing the show, and had to beg people to come on, I ended up just working my way through my personal finance contacts (which was mostly dudes). After this was pointed out, we made a very specific effort to bring more women onto the show.
We were fortunate to have numerous women in very senior posts – CEOs, CIOs, Chief Economists, etc. – who are working throughout finance who joined me on MiB.
Add this to our prior list of Venture Capitalists and Psychologists & Behavioral Economists.
