Economy Keynote Speakers
Economists, market analysts, and geopolitical strategists who help boards, financial firms, and investor audiences read the macro picture and act on it.
The economy is the one agenda item every board, investment committee, and client conference has in common, and the gap between a generic forecast and a genuinely useful one has never been wider. Rave Speakers represents the economists, market analysts, and geopolitical strategists that decision makers actually listen to: Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi on rates, jobs, and recession odds; Nouriel Roubini on the megathreats building beneath the surface; Ian Bremmer on how politics and great-power competition move markets; and The Economist's Editor-in-Chief Zanny Minton Beddoes on the state of the world economy. Whether your audience is a boardroom weighing capital allocation, a financial services firm advising anxious clients, or an investor conference hunting for signal, we will match you with the voice whose outlook, evidence, and delivery fit the room.
Economists and Forecasters
Nouriel Roubini, Mark Zandi, and futurists Andrew Busch and Zack Kass on where growth, rates, inflation, and the AI economy go next.
Nouriel Roubini
NYU Stern professor emeritus who famously called the 2008 financial crisis and bestselling author of MegaThreats. When a board or investor audience wants the unvarnished bear case on debt, inflation, and systemic risk, he is the most credentialed contrarian they can put on stage.
Mark Zandi
Chief Economist of Moody's Analytics and one of the most cited forecasters in the country, a regular voice in congressional testimony and national media. Delivers a rigorous, data-first read on jobs, rates, housing, and recession odds that financial audiences can take straight back to their models.
Andrew Busch
Economic futurist and the first Chief Market Intelligence Officer for the U.S. government. Turns policy shifts, technology, and market data into concrete growth scenarios, giving leadership teams and financial audiences a playbook for the next economy rather than just another forecast.
Zack Kass
Former Head of Go-To-Market at OpenAI and one of the most sought-after voices on AI's economic impact. Connects the technology driving the next productivity wave to what it means for labor markets, industries, and growth, grounding the macro AI story in firsthand operator experience.
Geopolitics and Global Risk
Ian Bremmer, Peter Zeihan, and The Economist's Zanny Minton Beddoes map political risk and the forces redrawing the global economy.
Ian Bremmer
Founder and president of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, bestselling author, and the best-known political scientist working on global risk. Gives boards and investor audiences a clear framework for how elections, wars, and great-power competition move markets, currencies, and supply chains.
Peter Zeihan
Geopolitical strategist and bestselling author of The End of the World Is Just the Beginning. Maps demographics, energy, and deglobalization into blunt, memorable forecasts about which economies, industries, and supply chains win or lose in the decade ahead.
Zanny Minton Beddoes
Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, the first woman to lead the publication, and a former IMF economist. Brings a genuinely global vantage on growth, trade, and policy, distilling the world economy's biggest stories for boards and investor audiences with authority few can match.
Markets and Finance Voices
Scott Galloway, CNBC's Ron Insana, and Frank Maselli translate market swings into strategy for investors, advisors, and boards.
Scott Galloway
NYU Stern professor, serial entrepreneur, and bestselling author of Post Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity. Reads the economy through the lens of big tech, markets, and consumer behavior, delivering provocative, data-heavy takes that wake up any investor conference or executive summit.
Ron Insana
CNBC Senior Analyst and trailblazing financial journalist with decades covering crashes, recoveries, and Fed policy from the front row. Bestselling author who translates economic data and market signals into plain-English guidance for investors, advisors, and executive audiences.
Frank Maselli
One of the financial services industry's most dynamic voices on advisor growth, motivation, and modern client engagement. Helps advisors and wealth management teams turn economic uncertainty into client conversations that build trust and grow the practice, a natural fit for financial services conferences.
This roster covers the full macro picture. Forecasters like Mark Zandi, Nouriel Roubini, Andrew Busch, and Zack Kass chart growth, inflation, and the AI economy. Geopolitical strategists Ian Bremmer, Peter Zeihan, and Zanny Minton Beddoes explain how wars, elections, and deglobalization reshape trade and supply chains. Markets and finance voices Scott Galloway, Ron Insana, and Frank Maselli turn all of it into strategy for investors, advisors, and the clients they serve.
An economy keynote works wherever an audience has to make decisions under uncertainty: opening or closing an investor conference, setting context at a board offsite or leadership summit, kicking off a sales year for a financial services firm, or grounding an industry congress in the numbers that matter. Rave Speakers handles the entire booking, from shortlist and availability through fees, contracting, and event-day logistics.
