Our guest for today’s podcast is Pam Chan, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Mosaic, a new private market strategy within Lingotto that will invest across asset classes, industries, and capital structures, and will be anchored by Exor. Pam’s mandate will be to invest in what she calls “the weird and wonderful” as she believes that flexible capital will create differentiated opportunities and sustained performance over the long term.

Prior to joining Lingotto, Pam was the Chief Investment Officer and Head of Direct Private Opportunities at BlackRock. While at BlackRock, Pam co-founded and led the firm’s Alternative Solutions group which grew to over $12bn assets under management across a range of private market strategies and investment themes.

Pam is a graduate of Harvard College magna cum laude and Harvard Business School with high honors. In 2020, Pam was recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader and was appointed a member of that organization’s Global Future Council on the Future of Responsible Investing and Women in Finance community. In 2022, Private Equity International included her on their list of Women of Influence in Private Markets.

Joining me on the podcast as co-host is Agnes Tan, who recently graduated from Columbia Business School and will be co-hosting/hosting a handful of podcasts on behalf of AAAIM in the coming weeks.

So what does it take to launch your own strategy and be seeded by one of the top investors in the world? Well, Pam shares her secrets. Without further ado, please enjoy our interview with Pam Chan.
