Richard Busellato grew up in Sweden. He worked in Stockholm in 1990 and later in Brussels for some of the world’s oldest corporations before moving to London 25 years ago. He has been involved in investing throughout this time, successfully navigating some of the most volatile periods in the financial markets. Famously, he remembers his first lesson in risk management – imagine the worst that can happen, and double it. To this day, this remains a defining consideration to how to see the world and what is happening in it.
He worked in many of the premier hedge funds and financial institutions, taking senior roles with responsibilities over large investment decisions. He joined with David and researched not just the financial but also the driving social and ethical aspects of sustainability. This led them to the idea of Rethinking Choices – a holistic examination of how we can genuinely contribute to the planet’s timeless capacity for life.
