lling author of The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, Alice Schroeder has had a business career of unusual breadth as a corporate director, all-star securities analyst, tech CEO, regulator, and CPA, with senior experience in nearly every part of the financial world and other industries. She has played a management or oversight role in the transformation of business in today’s turbulent economy, including the rise of the cloud, AI and big data, the challenges of Brexit, the changing model for delivery of health care in the U.S., and the challenges of running a global, highly regulated company.
Schroeder takes audiences deep inside the life, wisdom, and investment and leadership style of Warren Buffett and how they inform today’s complex, rapidly-changing business world. On topics ranging from risk management and value creation to corporate governance, she explains the big picture and transformative lessons through the lens of Buffett and from her own perspective as an inside player on the international scene.
Schroeder’s bestseller, The Snowball, is a revealing and complete look at the life of Buffett and the business secrets he never before shared publicly. The book debuted at #1 on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Publisher’s Weekly bestseller lists. The Snowball has been called the “bible of capitalism” and “almost impossible to stop reading.” Named one of the best books of the year by TIME and The Financial Times, it was Amazon.com’s #1 Business and Investing Book of the year. The New York Times’ reviewer Janet Maslin hailed it as one of her five favorite books of the year, calling it a “definitive portrait.”
Schroeder began her career as an auditor for Ernst & Young before becoming a regulator with the Financial Accounting Standards Board where she drafted some of the most significant accounting rules affecting the insurance industry. As a Wall Street analyst, Schroeder was ranked at the top of her profession in the Institutional Investor All-America Research poll. Risk and Insurance magazine called her “one of the most respected – and unafraid – thinkers on Wall Street.”
A former managing director at Morgan Stanley, she participated in key episodes of the financial crisis, then went on to join a struggling technology company as its CEO, turn it around and sell it. She currently serves on the boards of directors of the global insurance giant Prudential plc, health care facilities company Quorum Health, and medical devices manufacturer Natus Medical.
