From Activist to Altruist: Bill Browder's Journey

  1. Bill Browder

Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital Management and author of <em>Red Notice</em>, talks about his activist investing career in Russia and his human rights campaign to seek justice for his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.

In this Take 15 episode, human rights activist Bill Browder discusses the role personal history and timing played in his career trajectory. From the founding of Hermitage Capital Management just after the fall of the Soviet Union, to his current role fighting state-sponsored corruption and human rights abuses through the Magnitsky Act, Browder shares his evolution from rebel capitalist, to activist investor, to full-time human rights activist, detailed in his book, Red Notice.

The Take 15 Series is a collection of illuminating, short conversations with noted economists, best-selling authors, leading researchers, and successful practitioners on topics ranging from geopolitics and whistleblowing to irrationality and outlooks.
