Dominique Mielle

Dominique Mielle is a Franco-American investor and former hedge fund manager. Her memoir, Damsel in Distressed (Simon and Schuster, 2021) offers an insider’s view of what it’s like to be a woman in the hedge fund world. She describes her twenty-year career, rising through the ranks to partner, with a combination of intelligence, humor, and an unwillingness to be minimized by genderism. She is a contributing author to Graham and Dodd’s Security Analysis, 7th edition (McGraw Hill, 2023). She was named one of the “50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds” by the Hedge Fund Journal and E&Y in 2017. She writes for Forbes on the topics of hedge funds, distressed investing and diversity. One of the few senior women in the hedge fund industry, she focused on distressed investments and played key roles in complicated bankruptcies and restructurings. She serves on the board of several public corporations.
