Inspired by Linda's focus on the intersection of Engineering and the Arts, we have curated a series of compelling podcasts with individuals who transcend traditional subject matter barriers.

    Bonus Episode - Margaret Casely-Hayford CBE - A Champion of Change and Progress pursues her next Challenge

    Margaret Casely-Hayford, CBE, until recently was Chancellor of Coventry University, a role she held for close to 7 years.  She has had an extensive career having been a partner at Dentons in legal practice for close to 20 years, and has held roles as NED of the NHS, as a Special Trustee at Great Ormond Street Hospital Childrens’ Charity, Chair at Shakespeares’ Globe, and as a Board Member of Co-op, to name just a few. We featured her on our podcast in February 2021, where we discussed her role as a champion for diversity in the law and are delighted to now welcome her back to discuss her candidacy for the Chancellorship at Oxford University, an institution of which she is herself an alumna. In order to look forward we first briefly look back - at her legacy from Chancellor of Coventry University - at her vision for educational institutions in terms of growth, access and relevance in the decades to come. We speak about her initiatives there, and her vision for leadership as well as enriching the student body. We move then to some of the issues at stake in the coming election and cycle through them in terms of the unique nature of Oxford given its   Oxford specific college/hall identity/symbolism, how it can blend this with a robust research agenda and the other expectations of a modern institution. We return to the topic of value for money of a university degree and the fundraising agenda that must accompany any such role.  We move then to Margaret's unique style of leadership and advocacy and her stance on freedom of expression, academic freedoms and other freedoms within the university setting. Modern institutionMargaret's career has been characterized by taking a stand, grit, advocacy, transparency and winning trust through partnership and collaboration. Tune in to hear her unique vision for the Chancellorship role at Oxford University.

    Episode 196: Duncan MacInnes of Ruffer: The Art of Mini-Max Regret

    Duncan MacInnes is an Investment Director at Ruffer LLP, where he has spent over a decade. He previously worked in wealth management. I have enjoyed listening to Duncan discuss positioning and multi-asset insights on the conference circuit and wanted to take this opportunity to discuss his views on the current macro backdrop as well as the state of play in finance circles as we wrestle with failing banks and what this means for investors.We start our conversation with a run through Duncan’s upbringing in Scotland and his initial study of law, his passage into first wealth management and then asset management. His initial training in wealth management took him to Asia and we discuss how that total immersion experience lit the fire for an interest in economics, markets and multi-asset class investing.Moving to his current outlook we discuss Ruffer’s preference for “minimax regret” which is the practice of minimizing the probability of your maximum regret – and focusing on capital preservation. We discuss the impact of the Fed tightening cycle on taking money out of the system and what this means for the velocity of money and money concentrating in the centre. We then turn to a number of other areas in turn – de-dollarization, the shifting appeal of fixed income and the coming chronic phase of the crisis.Our discussion around diversity focuses on creating an organization that can speak multiple languages – metaphorically speaking – some the language of number and quantitative analysis, some the language of sales and client partnershipsDuncan discusses some of the finance books that he recommends to others and these are: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke, The Most Important Thing by Howard Marks and SuperForecasting by Philip Tetlock.Series 3 of the 2023 Fiftyfaces Podcast is supported by Eagle Point Credit Management.

    Cathy Ulozas is Chief Investment Officer at Drexel University where she has just celebrated her 13th anniversary as CIO.  She has had a long career in asset management, including stints as a bond trader and portfolio manager.We start at the beginning of that career, trace its twists and turns and discover some of the unexpected areas that she found intense professional growth.  We start with her time in insurance and move to what she learned as a bond trader and the camaraderie she felt on the trading floor.  One unexpected turn was into a role in process improvement which after two years saved over $80 m for the bank and was an intense period of learning in areas of managing of people, implementing change and wringing efficiencies from processes.Our conversation then turns to what is on Cathy’s mind as CIO at a university today and how the investment office works.  We examine the role of a university investment office in fulfilling the mission of a university and how these can be aligned in unique opportunities.Cathy’s experience has offered her a wealth of opportunities to learn from the wisdom of others and develop her own insights, and she shares many examples of these with us at the end of the podcast.Series 3 of the 2023 Fiftyfaces Podcast is supported by Eagle Point Credit Management.

    Episode 197: Libby Cantrill of PIMCO: The intersection of Policy, Politics, Performance and Professionalism

    Libby Cantrill is a managing director in PIMCO’s portfolio management group. In her role, she analyzes policy and political risk for the firm’s Investment Committee and leads U.S. policymaker engagement and policy strategy for the firm. She also works closely with PIMCO’s Global Advisory Board, led by former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2007, she served as a legislative aide in the House of Representatives and also worked in the investment banking division at Morgan Stanley.Our conversation starts with her early interests in policy and politics, and how the seeds were sown as early as in grade school in Colorado.  We trace this interest through her time as a legislative aide in Washington DC, and ask what she learned from her time on “the Hill” about conflict and compromise in politics. We move then to her switch into finance and her current role at PIMCO, in which she wears two hats essentially.  One is as a political strategist providing political intelligence to the investment team, investment committee and clients, while the other is leading in policymaker engagement.We speak about polarization in politics and what remains at the center, and discuss this at multiple levels, ending in the area of ESG and sustainability investing and how politics is intersecting with this aspect of investing.We then discuss her role with the Global Pimco Advisory Board and I ask what it is like to work with the venerable Ben Bernanke. To find out what this is like and to hear more from Libby about her reflections on the diversity and development of the industry, tune in.Series 3 of the 2023 Fiftyfaces Podcast is supported by Eagle Point Credit Management.
