Misra was Board Director of
Softbank Group and CEO of Softbank Investment Advisers. Misra, who leads the team running the company's Vision Fund, joined SoftBank in 2014. He left Deutsche Bank in June 2008, when he was the global head for credit and commodities and was reportedly earning between 10 and 15 million euros a year. He then worked at the London-based
TCI Fund for several months. He joined UBS in 2009, and in May 2014 he was a senior managing partner of
Fortress Investment Group, until he joined
Softbank in November 2014. The
Wall Street Journal detailed Misra's alleged attempts to undermine his internal rivals at
Softbank, including planting stories, filing shareholder complaints, and using a "
honey trap". In July 2022, he stepped back from his executive roles at
SoftBank Group to start his own venture fund, as reported by various news agencies. He has secured over $6 billion, including from Middle East investors. In November 2024, Rajeev Misra announced that he was formally stepping down as co-chief executive officer of
SoftBank Group Corp.’s Vision Fund. == References ==
