Featuring Ray Dalio
in Conversation with Erik Schatzker
Ray Dalio
Ray Dalio has been a global macro investor for more than 50 years, founding Bridgewater Associates out of his two-bedroom apartment in NYC and running it for most of its 47 years, building it into the largest hedge fund in the world. He remains an investor and mentor at Bridgewater and serves on its board. He is also the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Principles: Life and Work, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order, and Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises. Dalio graduated with a B.S. in Finance from C.W. Post College in 1971 and received an MBA degree from Harvard Business School in 1973. He has been married to his wife, Barbara, for more than 40 years and has three grown sons and five grandchildren. He is an active philanthropist with special interests in ocean exploration and helping to rectify the absence of equal opportunity in education, healthcare, and finance.
Erik Schatzker
Schatzker is an editor-at-large with Bloomberg Television in New York, where he specializes in long-form interviews, enterprise reporting and special events.
Schatzker developed and hosts Bloomberg's Front Row series of in-depth conversations with the most powerful, interesting and influential figures in finance -- a dynamic cast of characters that ranges from innovation icon Cathie Wood to Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Since joining Bloomberg TV in 2007, he has reported from across the globe and gained exclusive access to heads of state and business leaders for stories on camera and in print. Schatzker landed the first interview with Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after his release from detention in the now-infamous Riyadh Ritz-Carlton and played a key role in Bloomberg's definitive coverage of the market-shaking collapse of investment firm Archegos. He also contributes regularly to Bloomberg Businessweek.
Previously, Schatzker was a reporter, editor, bureau chief and manager at Bloomberg News, where his coverage of Lucent, the onetime tech darling, and Refco, the failed commodity broker, won journalism awards.
A Canadian, he graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in history and began his career with the South Pacific Mail in Santiago, Chile.
