Connecting the Dots: Understanding the US Macro Outlook by Looking Overseas

Even if many countries are turning more inward, adopting reshoring and resiliency, global linkages between economies remain significant. In this talk, Rebecca Patterson brings over 25 years of experience researching and investing around the world to show how looking overseas – often at largely ignored “dots” – can better predict where the US economy and markets are headed. Especially in today’s globalized world, Patterson argues that developing a US view focused primarily on domestic information can prove financially risky.

She wants to help others learn from her experiences and show what works and doesn’t to help women at all levels succeed.
