Anthony Scaramucci is the founder of SkyBridge Capital, a global alternative investment firm that has managed as much as $9.5 billion in assets, and the creator of the SALT Conference, a global forum that has drawn heads of state, billionaire investors, and Fortune 500 CEOs to stages from Las Vegas to Abu Dhabi since 2009. A Harvard Law graduate, seven-year Goldman Sachs veteran, and author of eight books, he is perhaps best known publicly for his 11-day stint as White House Communications Director, an experience he's turned into one of the most candid cautionary tales in modern politics. He now co-hosts three podcasts, sits on the Council on Foreign Relations, and remains one of finance's most unfiltered voices.
