Grandmaster of Her Domain: From the Chessboard to Wall Street with Rusa Goletiani
Wednesday, 20 November, 2024

In this episode of Boxes and Lines, Ronan and JR sit down with Rusa Goletiani, a chess champion turned FX trader at BlackRock. Rusa shares her incredible journey from learning chess as a young girl in Georgia (the country, not the state!) to fleeing her war-torn homeland with nothing but her beloved chess notebook in the early ‘90s. Hear how chess helped her escape and thrive, how it influenced her career in finance, and why she believes decision-making under pressure is the secret cause for both chess and trading. Plus, you’ll get Rusa’s thoughts on her favorite pre-game rituals, and how she coaches the next generation of players, especially girls.
