About Anthony Scaramucci and This Event

Anthony Scaramucci, the founder and managing partner of investment advisory firm SkyBridge Capital, had just been appointed President Trump’s White House communications director. With specific orders to report directly to the president, Scaramucci’s long-standing commitment to American politics had finally paid off. But just 10 days later, he was removed from his post amidst another chaotic week in the Trump administration. Not to be deterred, Scaramucci boldly forged ahead, continuing the successful operation of SkyBridge Capital and investment forum, SALT. Today, he is considered one of the most influential voices in crypto and digital asset investing. 

Scaramucci has never taken a setback as an indictment of his abilities and his reputation for straight talk and audacious investing. So… What’s next for “the Mooch?” Please join us in what is sure to be a fascinating fireside chat. We will have a very frank and open conversation with Anthony about his career and leadership journey, mistakes, what he has learned, and what is next for him, including his thoughts on Bitcoin and other digital currencies, the SEC and politics.

About Bob O’Shea (GABELLI ’87)

In 2002 Bob co-founded Silver Point Capital, which is a global credit investment firm, with his partner Ed Mulé. Bob is the Chairman of Silver Point, which has over 300 employees, and oversees the management of over $29 billion of investable assets across credit strategies. Bob began his career in the Leveraged Loan Underwriting and Syndication group for Security Pacific Merchant Bank before joining Bear Stearns in their high yield and bankruptcy department to focus on trading leveraged loans. In 1990, Goldman Sachs recruited Bob to build Goldman’s Global Bank Loan business. Bob designed and implemented Goldman’s global bank loan strategy. The strategy encompassed building the number one secondary bank loan trading business, which involved building and running all of sales, trading, sourcing, and research. Subsequently, Bob built Goldman’s primary business of underwriting leveraged loans by building and running the leveraged finance and capital markets team. As a result, Goldman Sachs became the first investment bank to compete with global money center banks in underwriting and syndicating corporate loans. After executing the model in North America, Bob expanded the business by building out Europe. Bob also built Goldman’s trade claim business. Bob and Ed Mulé teamed up to build the firm’s proprietary Direct Lending Business in 1996.

At the time Bob left Goldman Sachs in 2000, he was the head of the Global High Yield Business Unit, which included managing all sales, trading, capital markets, research, sourcing, and the CLO business while also running the Global Bank Loan Business and co-managing Goldman’s proprietary special situations and distressed investing activities with Ed. Bob was a member of Goldman’s Risk Committee, which was comprised of approximately 15 partners, including the CEO, who was responsible for managing the firm’s global risk exposure. He was also on the Board of Goldman Sachs International Bank and Senior Traders Committee. He was elected general partner in 1994.

Bob graduated from Fordham University with a BS in Finance in 1987.
