Founder, Jane Street

Search every verified Robert Granieri interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Robert Granieri, founder of Jane Street and executive director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute's Center for the Study of America and the West, hosted several public discussions in early 2019. In an April 2019 event on Brexit, Granieri described the 2016 referendum as having been proposed by then-Prime Minister David Cameron to address "internal partisan issues," and said Cameron resigned after apparently not anticipating the result. Granieri stated that the European Union was "protecting its interests" in negotiations and had done so "with remarkable skill," while the British had believed they could "divide and rule" EU members but that approach had not worked. In a March 2019 discussion on extremism, Granieri hosted author J.M. Berger, who said social media companies were "highly motivated" to develop frameworks for dealing with extremist content before governments began legislating on the issue. In a February 2019 event on the Middle East, Granieri hosted FPRI's Aaron Stein, who described Turkish foreign policy thinking as ascribing regional instability to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the creation of "artificial states," and U.S. interventions in Iraq, Libya, and Syria.
