Rogers, Executive Vice President at Goldman Sachs and Chairman of the White House Historical Association, spoke at the Enduring Places Conference in September 2024, where he discussed his long-standing commitment to architectural preservation. He noted that his interest in classical design began during the Reagan administration and included the restoration of the Old Executive Office Building and the Treasury Building. Rogers also serves as Chairman of the Atlantic Council, where he has delivered remarks at events such as the US-Africa Leaders Summit Welcome Dinner in 2022 and the Distinguished Leadership Awards in 2019 and 2021. In his capacity as CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Ariel Investments, Rogers has appeared on financial news programs to discuss value investing, describing Mattel as an "extraordinary value" and commenting on the shortage of talent and the effects of technology on small businesses. He has also spoken about the firm's history of providing emergency child care services and its efforts to promote financial literacy and diversity in the financial services industry.
“The things that stand out to me are the shortage of talent, finding the right talent. I also think what's going to grow is the effects of technology, and those are good effects and bad effects, meaning that all of a sudden you become part of some kind of scam situation that's only enhanced by technological capabilities...”
“We've spoken a lot today about child care. A fortunate thing from my perspective is that I've been part of a firm that started emergency child care services 32 years ago so that if anything broke down, people could bring their child in our work. It's been a cornerstone and a central part of our business.”
“And good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It's an honor to be with all of you this morning at this national conference celebrating preservation and the practice of classical architecture and design.”
“This weekend, we welcome so many prolific architects, interior designers, urbanists, and educators who will offer their insights into a variety of compelling topics encompassing the full range of the building arts: preservation, restoration, art and artisanship, classical architecture, and urbanism.”
“We'll also delve into the creation of new townships and municipalities and reimagine public spaces, not only as attractions of beauty and reflection, but also areas that serve the practical needs of the communities they enjoy and depend on.”
“For those with a focus on the outlook and the future of stewardship of classical designs, we encourage you to experience the Student and Young Professionals Exhibition at the Aiken-Rhett House during your stay; this comprehensive showcase displays works across a wide range of mediums.”
“It's an incredible thing to see the myriad of ways in which these traditional practices thrive in the care and the craft and the consciousness of very talented young individuals — the future of art and design remains literally in good hands.”
“This hotel is in many ways an ideal setting in which to host this seminal event because, benefiting from its continuous restorations throughout the years, the building stands as a triumph of historic architecture with nearly a hundred years of antiquity.”
“The themes of this conference — craftsmanship, preservation, and sustainability — can be fully experienced here, and our steadfast principles of the Institute's advocacy and the creation of places that are dignified and beautiful and lasting.”
“My own predisposition towards the classical tradition began as a collective journey during the first term of Ronald Reagan's presidency, where, with the support of the President, I began a multi-decade long journey committed to the conservation and the preservation of the White House itself and its surroundings.”
“That effort included the restoration and the reintroduction of the Old Executive Office Building and the restoration of the Treasury Building — two stalwarts, magnificent piles, the cornerstones of Pennsylvania Avenue, which continue to command our architectural significance and influence.”
“I am also privileged to continue this work as the Chairman of the Board of the White House Historical Association and Trust.”
“Most would be surprised to hear that Africa's debt is lower than European debt, and yet it is easier today for African nations to borrow — often from China; we must continue to work hard to change this and to overhaul outdated risk profiles that put open markets at a disadvantage when providing loans and working capita...”
“Well it really is a tale of two markets. The broad market we think is quite expensive, the Nasdaq is quite expensive, the FANG stocks are quite expensive. There's all kinds of signs of excess out there with the IPO market and the specs, but there are pockets of opportunity and some really cheap value stocks in our sort...”
“Our favorite right now is Mattel. We think Ynon has done an extraordinary job of turning that business around and quarter after quarter, I think it's six, seven quarters in a row, he's far surpassed expectations. He's brought Barbie back to life, he's doing wonderful things with American Girl and Fisher Price and all t...”
