Hedge Funds, GameStop & The Future of Investing: Special Guest Dominique Mielle

Dominique Mielle is a former partner and senior portfolio manager at hedge fund Canyon Capital, is currently a full-time corporate board director, and ws named as Ernst & Young's 2017 "Top 50 Women in Hedge Funds." In this episode, Mielle discusses changes in the financial industry, retail investing and the ongoing GameStop phenomenon, and her forthcoming book, Damsel in Distressed. Also, the experienced investor talks about women in the industry, arguing that women shouldn't be ashamed to aspire toward wealth and success and should also enter the investment side for the fun of it.

Dominique Mielle is a Wall Street veteran with a comprehensive knowledge of corporate finance, capital markets, and the bankruptcy process. She was a partner and senior portfolio manager at Canyon Capital, a $25 billion hedge fund, where she worked from 1998 to 2018. In 2017, she was named one of the "Top 50 Women in Hedge Funds" by the Hedge Fund Journal and E&Y.

After retiring in 2018 she started writing. Her book, Damsel in Distressed: My life in the golden age of hedge funds, will be released in August 2021. It is a humorous account of her career as a female investor in the male-dominated investment world. She is a Forbes contributor on hedge funds, distressed investing and women in finance. Her column is meant for both dilettantes and practitioners, with a loosely-inspired Sex and The City tone.

One of the only senior women in the hedge fund business, she played key roles in complicated bankruptcies, serving as a leading creditors' committee member for Puerto Rico, and as a restructuring committee member for U.S. airlines in the wake of the September 11 attacks. She was a director of the board and the audit committee chair for PG&E during its fifteen-month bankruptcy process and emergence, and now serves on several corporate boards: Digicel Group, Anworth, Tiptree and Studio City.
