Clinically Inappropriate Obsessiveness and Open Mic Comedy Nights, Wei Lei, Chief Investment Strategist, BlackRock Searching for Mana with Lloyd Wahed
-
- Entrepreneurship
The Searching for Mana show with Lloyd Wahed has featured several ‘one of a kind’ guests – and this show is no exception. Wei Lei is not only a global leader for one of the biggest companies on the planet, she is also a two-time mathematical Olympiad who enjoys karaoke sessions, ran a marathon without training for it and overcame her fear of public speaking by taking part in an open mic comedy night.
Clearly not one for half measures, Wei also says she is obsessive to the point of it being ‘clinically inappropriate’ – but also credits this with her ability to dive deep into matters of personal and professional importance. But this intensity is balanced by Wei’s humility, compassion and a mindset anchored in gratitude and collaboration. Music also plays an important role in Wei’s life and in this episode Wei and Lloyd discuss why it seems to be a common thread among founders and pioneers.
As Chief Investment Strategist at BlackRock, Wei is aware of the weight her role carries and discusses Blackrock’s approach to net zero as well as her view on the current market volatility. It’s a great episode – inspiring and entertaining, and not to be missed.
