193: From Hedge Fund Roots to Alternative Credit Leadership: Soraya Chabarek, President & CEO, MCQS

While women leaders in finance are gradually becoming more common, that cannot be said the alternatives industry.

But as traditional investment firms increasingly acquire alternatives and private markets firms, their leaders, styles and backgrounds are experiencing a changing topography.

One of those to have been instrumental in helping build some well-known alts firms, from GLG to Moore Capital and now MCQS, is their President and CEO, Soraya Chabarek.

Soraya discusses the characteristics of some of the top hedge fund performers, the egos and enigmas, females in finance, the art of selling, and how she helped reposition CQS from a hedge fund manager into an alternative credit platform.

She gives her view on where the risks and opportunities lie in today’s credit market, how founder-led firms scale beyond star culture, and on resilience, grit, and what she looks for in a hire.
