What is really going on in the backdrop of global business, finance and competition today? Last year I interviewed Winston Ma, who co-authored The Hunt for Unicorns: How Sovereign Funds are Reshaping Investment in the Digital Economy with today’s guest, Paul Downs. One of the most fascinating interviews of 2020, I was delighted to have the opportunity to interview Paul to deepen our understanding of what is driving the digital economy and global dominance today. Paul practiced international law for more than four decades, most recently as a partner at Hogan Lovells in New York, where he co-founded the Sovereign Investor Practice and initiated its annual Sovereign Investor Conference. He has represented sovereign investors transacting in assets globally. He is a current or past director of international companies and not-for-profit organizations, including International House, New York, The Council for the United States and Italy, and the China US Business Alliance. Join us for the second insightful instalment of the Hunt for Unicorns.
