About this episode
Bill Krueger discusses his experiences and insights on investment management and technology at Yale's Investment Office.
Bill Krueger is the CTO at Yale’s Investment Office. Bill’s unconventional path spans defense contracting, tech consulting, and a 13-year run at Bridgewater Associates before landing at Yale.Bill shares how to operate in a radically transparent culture, tighten feedback loops between decisions and outcomes, and managing the messy realities of growth, bureaucracy, and leadership. Those experiences shaped Bill’s views on trust, talent, and where technology truly differentiates.We turn to Bill’s move to the LP side at Yale where his mandate is to modernize and innovate. He explains his approach to enhancing infrastructure while partnering with key stakeholders; why he favors deep vendor partnerships over a large in-house tech team, and his views on taking a pragmatic approach to AI and the limits of traditional data lake thinking in an allocator context.For GPs and LPs, Bill offers actionable advice on avoiding the speed-versus-quality trap, staying close to the work as a practitioner, and designing tech and data foundations that can scale over time.Learn MoreFollow Capital Allocators at @tseides or…
