Two continents.
One conviction.
Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, Katina Stefanova crossed the Atlantic at eighteen with little more than ambition — and rose to the very center of global finance. Harvard Business School. Nine years inside Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, where she advised the Management Committee and reported directly to the legendary Ray Dalio. Few careers anywhere in finance can match that arc.
Then she did what almost no one dares to do: she built her own. As one of the few women in the world to found and lead a global macro investment firm, she launched Marto Capital in 2014 — backed at launch by some of the industry's most sophisticated institutional investors. It is the expression of everything she believes: that markets can be understood, that technology is rewriting asset management, and that conviction — held with discipline — is the rarest asset of all.
