Marco Annunziata

I analyze the interplay of innovation and global economic trends, and assess the impact on business models and strategies. I have worked in policy, finance and industry -- most recently as GE's Chief Economist and Head of Business Innovation Strategy.

I served on the Board of Advisors on Information Technology of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; as Entrepreneur in Residence at GE Ventures and a Research Fellow at Autodesk.

TED speaker, author of "The Economics of the Financial Crisis", two-times winner of the Rybczynski Prize for best paper in business economics, published in the Harvard Business Review and other business and financial publication.

PhD economist (Princeton), but with an optimistic twist.

Asia’s continued economic rise,
the irresponsible global piling up of debt and the risks it poses to financial markets and to central banks’ independence,
the need to shift the focus from stimulating demand to unleashing supply,
whether AI can supercharge growth, and a lot more.
