Hello!
My name's Matt Turner, and I'm the Executive Editor at Business Insider. Starting today, I'm going to be sending out a weekly email highlighting some of the best reporting from our BI Prime coverage.
First off, here are some of the interviews we published this past week which I found especially interesting.
- Joe Ciolli talked to Rob Arnott, the chairman and chief executive of the Pimco subadviser Research Affiliates LLC, about his big 10-year investing recommendation.
- Rich Feloni talked to Aetna's former CEO Mark Bertolini about how staring death in the face taught him to be a more human leader.
- Dan DeFrancesco spoke to Jeff Sprecher, CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange, who said recent consolidation in financial markets has made it prime for disruption.
- And Greg Smith, the executive vice president of supply chain at Walmart US, told Rachel Premack how Walmart boosted productivity at its nearly-200 distribution centers by 13% over the past 18 months.
I'd love to hear from you, our readers. What would you like this email to include? What have we missed? You can reach me at mturner@businessinsider.com. You can also take part in our subscriber survey right here.
