What Hedge Fund Manager Ray Dalio's Assistent Learned from Working at Bridgewater Associates


During a period of six months, entrepreneur Kathleen O'Grady worked as hedge fund manager Ray Dalio's assistent at Bridgewater Associates. Working for Dalio, O'Grady learned 5 key lessons that she shares in a longer blog post that was written back in 2011.


I would not be an entrepreneur specializing in Authentic Leadership if it were not for my experience working for Ray Dalio at Bridgewater Associates. For approximately six months, I supported Ray Dalio (Founder), Bob Prince (Co-CIO), and Ray’s brilliant, philanthropic son Matt Dalio (Founder of The China Care Foundation) as their Executuve & Personal Assistant. Despite its brevity, this previous position has proven time and time again to be a major contributing factor to the person I am and the work I do in the world.


I learned more about self leadership in that six months than most people learn in a lifetime. Seeing the recent article on Ray in The New Yorker, titled Mastering the Machine, I was compelled to write this blog.
