Investing in Financial Security: Masters in Business with Salim Ramji
Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji, the first 'outsider' to lead the asset manager, spoke with Bloomberg about his career journey and recent acquisition of Altruist.
In a recent Bloomberg interview, Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji detailed his unconventional path to leading one of the world's largest investment firms. Ramji began his career in law before making a significant transition to finance, joining BlackRock as Head of Corporate Strategy.
