Welcome to another episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges, great investors.

I'm Alison Mass, chairman of investment banking at Goldman Sachs' global banking and markets business,

and your host for today's episode.

I'm thrilled to be speaking with Katie Koch, the president and CEO of TCW, a global asset manager

with more than $200 billion in assets under management.

Prior to joining TCW as CEO in 2023,

Katie spent 20 years with Goldman Sachs,

where she was a partner and most recently served as the CIO of the public equity business

in our asset and wealth management business.

I'm so excited to speak with

Katie about how she's leading TCW, building the culture, and navigating the firm through a

period of rapid change for the fixed income asset class. Katie, great to have you on the program,

and welcome back to 200 West. Thank you. I'm so excited to be here always. So some of our regular listeners may remember

Katie was one of my co-hosts for this podcast, which Katie and I first started in 2020,

as a way to hear how leaders across the financial services industry were managing and investing

through the pandemic. So Katie, how does it feel to be on the other side of the

mic as an interviewee as opposed to an interviewer? Well, first of all, I always love being back

at Goldman Sachs. I have to say that when we started this, and you, it was your idea, but you were

kind enough to ask me to participate, which ended up having huge benefits I want to talk about.

But we were like on our laptop zooms and

now you guys have this whole for, it's very golden. Just keep taking it up to the next level.

So we try. We try. It's great to be here and great to have this experience. Thank you for having me.
