Numbers, data and returns shape everyday life in investing. So what does good leadership look like in an industry where almost everything seems measurable? Barbara Liebermeister put that question to our Head of Fund Investments, Dr. Pei Pei Hsiung, in the latest episode of her Business Secrets podcast.
Over roughly 35 minutes, the two of them cover a lot of ground:
- How Pei Pei questions investment data and judges the teams behind it — and what to do when the data and your intuition point in different directions.
- Why listening and open feedback are what make people share their knowledge and bring their own assessments to the table.
- How AI has become part of the team’s daily work, from shared prompts to faster analysis — while weighing the results and standing behind decisions as a team remains a leadership task.
- Why stress under pressure should not be passed down to the team, but still deserves to be addressed openly.
- What it means to stand out as a woman in finance, why expertise counts for more than seniority, and how to become more visible by speaking your mind.
To close, Pei Pei shares what she has learned on her own career path and gives women concrete, first-hand advice for finding their way.
