Economist Todd Buchholz “lights up economics with a wickedly sparkling wit,” says the Associated Press. The former White House senior economic advisor, Tiger hedge fund-managing director and best-selling author has jousted with such personalities as James Carville and Ben Stein. His lively and informative speaking engagements have earned him a place in Successful Meetings Magazine’s “21 Top Speakers for the 21st Century,” and his best-selling books on economics and financial markets have been widely translated and are taught in universities worldwide.
As a frequent commentator on the state of the markets, Todd Buchholz brings his experience as a former White House director of economic policy, a managing director of the $15 billion Tiger hedge fund, and a Harvard economics teacher to the cutting edge of economics, fiscal politics, finance, and business strategy. Buchholz is a frequent guest on ABC News, PBS, and CBS, and he recently hosted his own special on CNBC. Buchholz has debated such luminaries in the field as Lester Thurow and Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz. He is CEO and co-founder of educational software company Sproglit, LLC and was a fellow at Cambridge University. Before joining Tiger, Buchholz was President of the G7 Group, Inc, an international consulting firm whose clientele included many of the top securities firms, investment banks and money managers in New York, London, and Tokyo, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. His commentaries were closely read by officials at the Federal Reserve, Bundesbank and Bank of England. He served at the White House as a Director for Economic Policy. Buchholz won the Allyn Young Teaching Prize at Harvard and holds advanced degrees in economics and law from Cambridge and Harvard. He also holds several engineering and design patents and is a co-producer of the Broadway smash “Jersey Boys.” Buchholz has authored numerous critically acclaimed and best-selling books, many of which he has developed into successful lectures and speaking events. His books have been translated into a dozen languages and are used in universities worldwide. Author Buchholz is praised for his examination of economics, business and entrepreneurship in the context of global society. “Market Shock: 9 Economic and Social Upheavals that Will Shake Our Financial Future,” was released to rave reviews and dubbed “outstanding” by the Wall Street Journal. Buchholz has also published the best-selling “New Ideas from Dead Economists,” “New Ideas from Dead CEOs,” “From Here to Economy,” and “Lasting Lessons from the Corner Office,” which garnered high praise from The New York Times and Financial Times. Named by Publishers Weekly as a “top ten” book, his book “Rush: Why You Need and Love the Rat Race” has been praised by the Financial Times, Toronto Globe & Mail, Los Angeles Times and the BBC, among many others.
