After 50 years at Federated Hermes and 28 as CEO, Chris Donahue says the culture its founders built in Pittsburgh is still the engine behind the firm’s staying power. He goes Inside the ICE House to discuss why clients value daily liquidity at par above all else and how the firm’s $700 billion liquidity business acts as ballast for the entire enterprise. Donahue explains why he approaches AI with enthusiasm and caution, and why he believes it will raise the quality of the work rather than reduce jobs. He also covers tokenized money market funds, the central role of trust in digital infrastructure, and how the firm approaches private markets and private credit.
