Simon Ziff - President & Co-Founder, Ackman-Ziff
We had an absolute blast hanging out with Simon Ziff over a little mid-afternoon tequila—because why not?
Simon showed up with great energy and even better stories. We covered everything from his love of music and gardening, to the art of the power nap, to how cruising South Beach on his bike somehow leads to closing major deals (spoiler: it works).
From his roots in small-town Pennsylvania to becoming President of Ackman-Ziff and a legend in capital markets, Simon’s journey is as inspiring as it is entertaining. Humble, sharp, and effortlessly cool—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
Tune in and hear how Simon went from small-town kid to capital markets kingpin.
