Cathie Wood: Turning Failure Into Innovation

Description

Cathie Wood, Founder and CEO of Ark Invest, which manages $35bn in disruptive, technology-enabled innovation, joins Wilf to share her market views - why she’s hugely bullish on Tesla, bearish on Apple, warming up to Alphabet, and convinced that both Robotaxis and AI will be “winner-takes-most” markets. She also explains why she’s so optimistic on Robotics as a theme.


Cathie reflects on the highs and lows of her own career, including the 80% drawdown her funds suffered in 2021/22, and why she believes failure is essential to great innovation. She argues that Elon Musk is the greatest innovator alive, and that founder-led companies are more important than ever in times of rapid disruption - enabling bold decisions and risk-taking that consensus-driven management can’t match.
