Bio

I am a keynote speaker who helps audiences understand what's going on in the world economy. I link what's happening in markets, geopolitics, tech, and economics as a story rather than just relying on charts and numbers. For more, see my Substack column https://drpippa.substack.com/. Someone said I'm ''Digital Divining the Future''. I like connecting the dots and giving audiences ah-ha moments so they can allocate capital and time with greater conviction! I'm an economist who advised the President of the United States during Enron and 9/11. I served on The National Economic Council, The President's Working Group on Corporate Governance, and The President's Working Group on Financial Markets (The ''Plunge Protection Team''), all of which gave me huge insight. I also advised the British Cabinet and the Cabinets of several Asian nations on economic policy. Now and again, the NATO Generals ask me to brief them, and I lecture at Sandhurst and at Duke in the Global Executive MBA program. I've founded and supported tech ventures in robotics, space, motorsports, cleantech, and more. I am a Senior Advisor to The Monaco Foundry, a startup incubator. I co-founded a firm in the drone/autonomy space that won a 2020 CogX award for innovation and the 2020 British National Technology Award. My book, The Leadership Lab, won both the 2019 Business Book of the Year and the 2020 Independent Press Award. My next book, The Infinite Leader, won the Independent Press Award in 2021. My earlier books were Geopolitics for Investors (2015 with the CFA) and Signals, a best-seller in 2017. I've been named a leading Woman in Tech by We Are Tech Women and the top 50 Women in Tech by AccelerateHer. I attended the Breadloaf Writers Program at Middlebury and completed the Harvard Program on National Security. I am a Senior Fellow at RUSI.
