Satyajit Das (born 1957) is an Australian former banker and corporate treasurer, turned consultant, author and academic.
Early life
Satyajit Das was born in Calcutta in 1957.[1]
His family emigrated to Australia when he was 12.[2]
Das received bachelor's degrees in Commerce and Law from the University of New South Wales followed by an MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management.[1]
Career
From 1977 to 1987, Das worked in banking with the Commonwealth Bank, CitiGroup and Merrill Lynch.[1] From 1988 to 1994, Das was Treasurer of the TNT Transport Group.[1]
Das is the author of Traders, Guns & Money and Extreme Money and reference books on derivatives and risk-management. He lives in Sydney, Australia.[3]
Extreme Money was long-listed for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.[4] The Economist reviewed the book, stating that "Satyajit Das is well-placed to comment, having worked both for investment banks and as a consultant advising clients on their use of complex financial products", however, "the book could have easily been 150 pages shorter without losing its thrust."[4]
A Banquet of Consequences was released in Australia in 2015. It was released in the United States in 2016 as The Age of Stagnation to avoid it being confused as a cookbook.
Das is a regular commentator on LNL (Late Night Live) on RN (ABC radio's Radio National), hosted by Phillip Adams.
