Nicole Adrien is the Chief Product Officer and Global Head of Client Relations at Oaktree Capital.   If you work directly with clients and prospects, this is the conversation for you.    Nicole discusses her career path beginnings at Goldman Sachs, and how she turned a summer internship during business school into a career at Oaktree.   Working with clients today is all about transparency, speed, and accuracy. We discuss how exogenous factors from the GFC have shaped client demands and how Oaktree transformed its business to meet these new requirements.    We discuss the continuous demand of portfolio and company information and the “multiplier effect” from the increasing level of sophistication within the industry.   We close with how Oaktree builds new products today, what a good prospect meeting looks like, and how Oaktree hires and instills culture and values.   It's worth noting - this year, Nicole was named to 50/50 Women on Boards’ second annual 50 Women to Watch for Boards list, which highlights exceptionally qualified women leaders from various sectors across North America.
