OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Samara Cohen

ARCHETYPE

The Architect

Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.

Samara Cohen reads as The Architect because she builds arguments and organizations with the same structural intent. Her defense of ETFs as modernizing forces rather than disruptive ones reflects an engineer's conviction that systems should be designed to endure. That instinct extends from bond market ecosystems to the human structures of leadership, teams she describes as precisely assembled for collective strength rather than gathered around any single talent.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY ARCHITECT

Markets are more transparent and resilient as a result of ETFs being in them than they have ever been in history. I reject the notion that a transparent, resilient, and more accessible market has anything broken about that.

DEFENDING ETF MARKET STRUCTURE IMPACT

The introduction of ETFs as a new bond tool has actually had an important modernizing effect on that underlying market ecosystem.

ETFS TRANSFORMING BOND MARKET INFRASTRUCTURE

Ninety-five percent of leadership is putting the right person in the right job and assembling teams that build trust and can work together and maximize their individual strengths.
