Peace, Love & Money.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Welcome to the Kuros' Blog, entitled Peace, Love and Money - three elements that, oddly enough, I see directly proportional one to the other. My name is Tancredi Cordero di Montezemolo, Tanc for short, and I'm a financier with an idealistic soul and a free spirit. My goal in life is to bring cultural innovation and positive change into the financial industry and specially within the investment management sector.

This Blog is my open window on the World. Here I will be sharing with you all my ideas and my point of view on how we can improve capitalism in today's world. You will also appreciate that I will be bold, as well as trying to simplify concepts that were made hard in the past. I will demistify the old image of the guy working in finance and I will show you how making money can yield to peace and how love is the greatest compounder of all - so let's start this journey!
