Taimur Hyat is the Chief Operating Officer for PGIM. PGIM manages over 1.3 trillion in equity, fixed income, real estate, alternatives, and multi-asset solutions.

Being a “strategic COO” is the wave of the future, and Taimur provides some great insight on how he does it.

He shares his evolution from doing development economic research to consulting at McKinsey before landing in asset management with stints at Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse Asset Management.

Taimur shares his thoughts on understanding the moving parts of the big picture being just as important as the “hard ops” that happen on the front lines.

PGIM’s size and scale creates an opportunity to uncover around-the-corner ideas they call MegaTrends.

Taimur shares the importance of how different cultures, markets and regulators work together and what it takes to bring a global mindset to your work. There is a lot here on what it takes to be “COO version 2.0” so take a listen.
