The financial success they have achieved by establishing and growing leading businesses echoes the life and legacy of our founder, John D. Rockefeller, and provides all of us with insight and inspiration for how wealth can be created and managed.

In the latest installment of our series, The Blueprint, Rockefeller CEO Greg Fleming sits down with Katie Koch, Chief Executive Officer of TCW. With a career spanning two decades at Goldman Sachs to now leading one of the world’s premier asset management firms, Katie shares her remarkable journey and the lessons learned along the way.

The discussion explores Katie’s leadership philosophy, her transition from investor to CEO, and the powerful advice she received from mentors throughout her career. She also offers her perspective on the future of asset management and her approach to preserving TCW’s strong investment culture while adopting a founder’s sense of urgency.
