- Vikram Mansharamani
Author, Boombustology Vikram Mansharamani Author, Boombustology Dr. Vikram Mansharamani is a global trend-watcher and expert on how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot emerging opportunities. He first gained widespread attention with his book Boombustology: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst , which established his ability to predict market shifts. Since then, he has helped corporate leaders and investors navigate today's radical uncertainty by looking at the world through a unique lens. His strategies provide crucial insights into a range of topics, including China, food security, the global economy, Africa, housing, financial cycles, energy, and more. Recognized for his unparalleled expertise, LinkedIn named Vikram one of their Top Voices for Money, Global Economics, and Finance in 2015 and 2016. Worth magazine listed him among the "Power 100" in 2017, ranking him as one of the 100 most powerful people in global finance. Vikram’s core belief is that the future doesn’t need to be a surprise. By regularly stepping outside of our areas of expertise and adopting a generalist’s mindset, we can better anticipate change. While specialists often focus narrowly on their area of expertise, generalists look at the world through multiple lenses, seeking to connect seemingly disparate dots. By doing so, they often draw conclusions and make decisions that are far more innovative and insightful. Vikram teaches his audiences how to adopt this mindset to identify opportunities and reduce risks in business. From 2009 to 2017, Vikram was a Lecturer at Yale University, where he taught popular courses such as Financial Booms and Busts, Economic Inequality, and Adventures in Business Ethics. He now teaches Humanity and Its Challenges at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on navigating complex uncertainties and understanding the risks that drive global markets. In addition to his academic work, Vikram is a seasoned global equity investor with over 20 years of experience in both public and private markets. He previously served as Managing Director of SDK Capital and currently manages the Kelan Global Opportunities Fund, a global thematic investment partnership founded on his generalist approach to market insights. Vikram’s analysis has been featured in prominent media outlets including PBS Newshour, Bloomberg, MarketWatch, CNBC, Forbes, Fortune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and many others. He also contributed the summary chapter to A Force for Good (2015), synthesizing lessons on the role of finance and capitalism in today’s interconnected and unequal world. A sought-after speaker, Vikram regularly presents to diverse audiences across industries, from sovereign wealth funds and family offices to endowments and foundations. His thought leadership on global trends, risk, and opportunity continues to resonate particularly within the investment community, where his insights help guide large-scale capital allocation decisions. As a consultant, Vikram helps clients analyze the business impact of global trends, with a focus on identifying economic, political, and social risks that could disrupt markets. He also leads executive education seminars, teaching senior leaders how to integrate complex, sometimes contradictory, information into actionable strategies. Vikram holds a Ph.D. and MS from the Sloan School of Management at MIT, an MS in Political Science from MIT, and a BA from Yale University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He lives in Lexington, MA with his wife, daughter, son, two cats, and a golden retriever.

Mr. Treacy’s insights are shaped by his rich experiences as an academic at MIT, an advisor to some of the most successful firms of the past decade, and an entrepreneur who has founded and led several successful companies. Throughout his career, he has overcome nearly every obstacle to achieving exceptional company performance and building extraordinary firms. Michael Treacy’s books have earned international recognition. In the 1990s, he introduced the concept of gaining a competitive advantage through value leadership in The Discipline of Market Leaders , a New York Times bestseller. This book outlines the principles of leadership in a competitive marketplace, emphasizing an unmatched customer value proposition delivered through a unique operating model design. These principles have been adopted by many companies, large and small, to drive their business strategies and create competitive advantages. A decade later, in Double Digit Growth , a Business Week bestseller, he demonstrated how rapid, steady, and profitable growth can be intentionally achieved.

With the size of the global middle class set to triple, driven by rising standards of living across the globe, this demographic represents the opportunity of a lifetime. Companies that embrace the future and focus strategically will dominate, increasing scale, scope, and power. Those that fail to adapt risk falling behind.

- Ross Bernstein
Sports Performance Expert: The Champion’s CODE Ross Bernstein Sports Performance Expert: The Champion’s CODE Ever wonder why certain teams win consistently, whereas others come up short? Ross explains WHY — in an engaging, high energy, and visually entertaining style that’s designed to improve YOUR organization’s productivity, morale, and bottom-line profitability… The best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, Ross Bernstein is an award-winning business speaker who helps companies and organizations perform more like CHAMPIONS. Ross and his books have been featured on thousands of television and radio programs over the past 20 years, including CNN, MSNBC, CBS This Morning, FOX News, Bloomberg, ESPN, Sports Illustrated and the CBC, as well as in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, L.A. Times, USA Today, and Maxim Magazine. Ross’ signature program, “The Champion’s Code: Life Lessons of Ethics & Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World,” is based on more than six years of research that resulted in two critically acclaimed series of sports-business books. The first examines how and why certain teams win world championships; while the other chronicles the unwritten and unspoken rules in the world of sports, or “codes” as they are known, which explores the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship — and the consequences involved when that line is crossed. Ross interviewed more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches for the six books and along the way he saw some fascinating patterns, metrics and trends develop among certain individuals who possessed a very unique DNA. For these unique individuals, or “champions,” it wasn’t always about winning, it was about following their moral compass in order to play the game the right way — with respect and integrity — in order to achieve success. In his presentation, Ross identifies upwards of 100 unique characteristics and traits that are common among champions, which he then ties into poignant life lessons and inspirational stories that relate back to his client’s event theme and desired learner outcomes. Based largely on the “Good to Great” ideology of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through dynamic leadership and extraordinary customer service, Ross’ program reinforces the concept that individuals win games, but TEAMS win championships. Momentum, roles, buy-in, motivation, consistency, sacrifice, trust, chemistry, work-ethic, innovation, karma, and being humble — they’re all a part of what it takes to become the best of the best — a champion both on and off the field. So… who are the champions in your organization? Let Ross customize a keynote (from one to six hours) to kick off your next annual conference, corporate event, or sales meeting — his PASSION and energy is contagious and he’d LOVE to be a member of YOUR team for the day!
