But his understanding of markets and risk began long before Wall Street. Growing up in Peru during political violence and hyperinflation, Daniel experienced an economy where prices could change by the hour. Those years gave him an enduring sense of perspective\u2014and an appreciation for family, opportunity, and stability. In this conversation with Pedro A. Guerrero, Daniel reflects on a career shaped by opportunity and moments when others underestimated him. After becoming head of the Americas for a major ETF business, U.S. clients repeatedly declined to meet with him despite his responsibility for billions of dollars they had invested. That changed when Daniel appeared on the cover of Barron\u2019s in 2015 and many of those same clients suddenly wanted meetings. The experience reinforced something Daniel has carried throughout his career: leadership has to be earned, and sometimes succeeding means proving people wrong. Daniel also shares the lessons that changed how he communicates and leads. After missing out on a leadership position with the CFA Institute, he sought feedback and discovered the issue wasn\u2019t his expertise\u2014it was his communication style. The experience produced three rules he still follows: speak slow, speak less, and speak last. Daniel discusses why feedback is a gift and how his philosophy evolved toward servant leadership. The conversation also turns to investing, where he explains why time in the market matters more than trying to time the market and how artificial intelligence, tokenization, and the convergence of public and private markets could shape the future of finance. Ultimately, Daniel sees enormous opportunity in the next generation of Latino professionals. He describes Latino talent as hardworking, creative, resilient, and capable of bringing different perspectives to investment teams. His advice is to find work you are passionate about, surround yourself with people who believe in you, and take opportunities even when you don\u2019t feel completely prepared. When Pedro asks Daniel to give the Latino story in America a title, his answer captures both his journey and the legacy he hopes to create: From Opportunity to Opportunity. Seize opportunity, create opportunity, and multiply opportunity\u2014not only for yourself, but for those who come next.   Topics Discussed in This Episode Growing up in Peru during political instability and hyperinflation Being underestimated and the Barron\u2019s cover that changed how clients viewed him The career-changing lesson to speak slow, speak less, and speak last Why time in the market matters more than trying to time the market How AI, tokenization, and private markets could reshape investing Daniel\u2019s philosophy to seize, create, and multiply opportunity Connect with Daniel Gamba Daniel Gamba on LinkedIn Franklin Templeton   ","author_name":"The Latino Majority","author_url":"https:\/\/thelatinomajority.com\/","html":"
