In this episode, Thomas Buberl welcomes Edouard Carmignac, Founder of Carmignac, one of Europe’s last-standing independent asset management firms. Over a candid and wide-ranging conversation, he reflects on 35 years of entrepreneurship—from launching his company in the wake of financial deregulation, to navigating market volatility with a conviction-driven investment philosophy.

Beyond finance, they explore Carmignac’s commitment to discovery and cultural engagement: how his passion for contemporary art and investigative journalism gave birth to the Fondation Carmignac, and why he believes sharing beauty and supporting truth-telling are part of a leader’s mission. They also discuss the importance of empathy in leadership, the weight of succession, and the need to keep questioning—even after decades of success.

For future CEOs and seasoned leaders alike, this episode is a masterclass in resilience, human leadership, and the balance between risk, performance, and purpose.
