Welcome to another episode of Goldman Sachs Exchange's Great Investors. I'm Allison Masse, chairman of investment banking at Goldman Sachs's global banking and markets business, and your host for today's episode. I'm thrilled to be speaking with Katie Koch, the president and CEO of TCW, a global asset manager with more than $200,000,000,000 in assets under management. Prior to joining TCW as CEO in 2023, Katie spent twenty years with Goldman Sachs where she was a partner and most recently served as the CIO of the public equity business in our asset and wealth management business. I'm so excite
Thank you. I'm so excited to be here always.
So some of our regular listeners may remember Katie was one of my cohosts for this podcast, which Katie and I first started in 2020 as a way to hear how leaders across the financial services industry were managing and investing through the pandemic. So, Katie, how does it feel to be on the other side of the mic as an interviewee as opposed to an interviewer?
Well, first of all, I always love being back at Goldman Sachs. I have to say that when we started this and you it was your idea, but you were kind enough to ask me to participate, which ended up having huge benefits I wanna talk about. But we were, like, on our laptop Zooms, and now you guys have this whole it's very golden. Just keep taking it up to the next level. So We
try. We try.
It's great to be here and, great to have this experience. Thank you for having me. I would say that I prefer being the interviewer instead of the interviewee. Sorry
about that. Not today.
Yeah. Not today. But I do like I I just really loved that experience in general because, of course, when you're talking, you're not learning. So it was great to have this opportunity to go speak to all these smart, incredible people and really listen and digest their philosophy and their process. And that was real highlight for me, so thank you for involving me in that. And I was thinking about it on the way here, and I met so many great people and interviewed so many extraordinary people through that process. But there are three that really actually actually had a massive formative impact on
