Emi Larson is the COO of UCLA‘s endowment.

Emi shares what it’s like going from an ops role at an emerging market manager to a hedge fund of funds and how it led to a COO role of a well-known university.

We cover how to make that leap from Director of Operations to the COO seat and the key skills needed for that position. We tackle how non-profits keep up with growing business complexity, the challenges with West Coast hiring and how overbuilding select parts of your tech stack can help you scale.

I would like to note that we recorded this not long before the fires engulfed Los Angeles.  With UCLA being is in the heart of LA, our hearts are with the folks out there.
