We went back to the ADDX well about 6 months after our thoroughly enjoyable conversation with ADDX’s Chief Commercial Officer, Oi-Yee Choo. This time we were excited to welcome Darius Liu, a co-Founder and the Chief Operating Officer of ADDX. The ADDX team is world-class and Darius is no exception…his career prior to founding ADDX can only be described as start-studded. As for ADDX, a lot has changed since we published the initial episode in May and we really wanted to catch up.
Some of the topics that Darius covered:
-
What it was like working at GIC and having a 20-year investment horizon
