Mellody Louise Hobson Ariel Investments Co-CEO, President

The discussion largely focuses on Hobson's early years, covering topics such as: her mother (a single mom and real estate developer who was very direct about money); her first job (putting tags on clothes at a "very fancy store in Chicago"); her Princeton senior thesis ("on how children ultimately led to the end of apartheid because of their uprisings"); the current border crisis ("I am deeply disturbed by children at the border being taken away from their parents ... This is just not right"); and more.
