Sammy Suzuki, Co-CIO of Strategic Core Equities, AllianceBernstein "My Path to becoming Co-CIO and Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling"

Our guest for today's podcast is Sammy Suzuki, Co-CIO of Strategic Core Equities at AllianceBernstein, also known as AB, a $686 billion research driven, asset manager.  Over a 26+ year career at AB, Sammy shares his perspective and experience on what it took for him to climb the corporate ladder at AB, shattering the bamboo ceiling, and building out a new $12 billion AUM business.  I tried to get Sammy to pound his chest a bit more on the podcast but he wouldn't take the bait being his Asian self, ha ha.  Note to audience, what he has accomplished at AB is no small feat and AAAIM is very proud to highlight his success.

 

Away from his personal achievements, Sammy is also viewed as a leader in the AAAIM and extended finance community.  Sammy has been instrumental in building out AB's Asian network as well as serving on the board of the CFA Society New York.  I look forward to Sammy's continued ascension in the finance world.

 

Without further ado, here is our conversation with Sammy Suzuki.
