MiB: Sonal Desai, Franklin Templeton Fixed Income CIO

The Big Picture

07-25

This week, I speak with Sonal Desai, executive vice president and chief investment officer for Franklin Templeton Fixed Income. She directly manages $215 billion in assets. A native of India, Desai earned a Ph.D. in economics from Northwestern University and briefly taught economics at the University of Pittsburgh. She then spent six years with the International Monetary Fund before entering the private sector as a director and senior economist for Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in London and then at Thames River Capital.

A list of her favorite books is here; A transcript of our conversation is available here Tuesday.

You can stream and download our full conversation, including any podcast extras, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and Bloomberg. All of our earlier podcasts on your favorite pod hosts can be found here.

Be sure to check out our Masters in Business next week with Tim Ferriss, author of five #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers, including The 4-Hour Workweek and Tools of Titans. He is also host of The Tim Ferriss Show podcast, which has had more than a billion downloads. Ferriss was named to Fast Company‘s “Most Innovative Business People” and one of Fortune‘s “40 under 40.” He is an angel investor/advisor to firms such as Shopify, Twitter, Uber, Alibaba, clear and more than fifty others
