In this episode of Executive Decisions, Steve Sedgwick sits down with Andrea Rossi, CEO of global investment manager M&G. 

Andrea shares how his multicultural upbringing—growing up in France with a Swedish mother and Italian father—shaped his adaptability and resilience as a leader. 

He reflects on his academic journey from France to Rome and INSEAD, calling his MBA a truly formative experience. 

Rossi reveals why joining GE was one of his best career decisions and how it sparked his passion for Six Sigma, a methodology he still champions today.

Now at the helm of M&G, Andrea outlines the company’s strategic priorities, his confidence in Europe’s growth potential and the importance of maintaining work-life balance in high-pressure roles.
