Growth From Failure

This is the story of Tina Lindstrom, a Partner at First NY where she manages an oil volatility portfolio. On this episode, you'll hear a remarkable story of a fighter - literally. Tina talks about fighting in a boxing charity tournament and falling in love with martial arts on the side while balancing a demanding derivatives trading career for the last 20 years. We discuss how she first heard about trading at a career fair in college, why she loved Susquehanna to start her career in trading and how she helped launch a hedge fund only to have to wind it down a few years later. Tina opens up about feeling depressed, feeling like a big failure and how soul crushing it was talking with investors as she had to wind down that hedge fund.Please enjoy this conversation with Tina Lindstrom.
