About the Author
Richard Rooney, OOnt, CFA, FCPA
After many years of education and practice in the investment management field, Richard read some essays by Warren Buffett and was smitten. Here was someone who actually carried out Einstein’s instruction that things should be as simple as possible but no simpler!

<br />
As Chief Investment Officer of Burgundy for over 20 years, Richard helped build an investment department that is supportive of thoughtful risk-taking, humble and dispassionate about acknowledging and learning from mistakes, and that bases its decisions on carefully marshalled evidence and strict valuation work.
