Bruce Talley is an American entrepreneur and frontier market strategist who has spent decades operating in opaque, rapidly changing environments from Russia’s Black Sea coast to Brazil and now Ukraine. He built the largest destination services company at the Sochi Olympics, navigated direct FSB scrutiny, and today is helping global investors access deeply discounted Ukrainian residential markets through the Ukraine Prime Property Fund. In this episode, Bruce shares hard earned lessons on operating in post Soviet systems, spotting opportunity in chaos, and why he believes Ukraine is one of the most compelling markets of the next decade.

In this episode we cover:

  • (00:00:00) Bruce’s path from US capital markets to frontier markets
  • (00:10:40) Life under the FSB and the moment he knew he had to leave Russia
  • (00:22:48) Building Destination Sochi from zero to the largest Olympic services provider
  • (00:26:52) Why he reoriented to Ukraine and the thesis behind the Ukraine Prime Property Fund
  • (00:40:29) Kyiv as the next great European city and advice for young MBAs
