TED Speaker Bio
"Paul Tudor Jones II started to work on Wall Street in 1976. 'If there was ever a free market free-for-all, this was it,' he says. 'Men wearing ties but acting like gladiators fought literally and physically for a profit.' Jones emerged victorious, and as founder of Tudor Investment Corporation and other companies within the Tudor Group, he engages in trading in the fixed income, equity, currency and commodity markets. Headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, Tudor manages some $13.7 billion and employs almost 400 people. Jones is an active philanthropist, including founding the Robin Hood Foundation and the Excellence Charter School, and he sits on the Boards of Just Capital, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Everglades Foundation, and Sonima Foundation. He is also a trustee of NYU's Langone Medical Center." – Source: TED
