    Where Does Russia Go From Here?

    Matt Winkler, David Bonderman, Ruben Vardanyan, Susan Eisenhower, Carl Theodore, Male Speaker 1

    In late 2014, Western sanctions and a 50% collapse in oil prices caused the Russian ruble and MOEX index to become the world's most volatile assets, yet the country began a recovery by early 2015 through stabilized currency values and a 30% growth surge in domestic food retail. Prominent figures including Ruben Vardanyan, David Bonderman, and Susan Eisenhower critique Western policy failures such as NATO expansion and broken agreements, arguing that these actions fueled Russia's strategic drift toward China while leaving the nation without a clear geopolitical identity. The panel warns of escalating nuclear risks due to these tensions but proposes immediate de-escalation through dedicated special envoys, Congressional diplomacy, and the establishment of clear benchmarks for sanction relief.

    Diane Brady, Matt Winkler, Helena Morrissey, Sally Krawcheck, Molly Ashby, Chris Ailman, Colin Tate, Elizabeth Hewitt, Ray Dalio, Nancy Kanwisher, Margaret Brennan, Margaret Warner, Ann Compton, Martha Nussbaum, Angela Batista, David Levinson

    Industry leaders from Bloomberg News, the 30% Club, and Solera Capital, among others, advanced strategies to transform corporate culture by proving that gender diversity directly correlates with improved financial returns, reduced volatility, and more innovative investment outcomes. Key figures like Matt Winkler and Molly Ashby highlighted the necessity of intentional sponsorship over passive mentoring, citing successes such as Bloomberg's doubling of women team leaders and Solera Capital's data-driven approach to overcoming the fundraising confidence gap. Collectively, these initiatives argue that replacing homogenous "cowboy" cultures with diverse, collaborative teams is essential for breaking groupthink and securing sustainable long-term growth in finance and media.
