Dr. Vikram Mansharamani is a global trend watcher who shows people how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot opportunities. He gained widespread attention with the release of his first book, Boombustology, which provided a framework for spotting bubbles before they burst. Since then, he has been a frequent commentator on issues driving disruption in the global business environment. In his engrossing talks, Mansharamani applies his unique multi-lens approach to connect seemingly irrelevant dots. He analyzes the business impact of global economic, political, and social trends to forecast opportunities ahead specific to his audiences.

Mansharamani has been an active participant in the financial markets for the last 20 years, with experience in management consulting, investment banking, and asset management. Today, as an advisor, he works with numerous boards and Fortune 500 CEOs to help them navigate radical uncertainty in today’s business and regulatory environment. His thematic analysis and risk management is always focused on identifying opportunities within the risks.

In 2020, Mansharamani released his second book, Think for Yourself: Restoring Common Sense in an Age of Experts and Artificial Intelligence. He is also a frequent contributor to top media outlets and publications such as Bloomberg, Fortune, Forbes, and The New York Times, and the host of the podcast, Navigating Uncertainty. Mansharamani has been named one of LinkedIn’s “Top Voices in Money and Finance” and one of the 100 most powerful people in global finance by Worth Magazine.

Mansharamani has a PhD and two master’s degrees from MIT and a bachelors degree from Yale University. Up until June 2022, Mansharamani was a lecturer at Harvard University, where he taught students to use multiple perspectives and systems thinking to guide their process. He has also taught at Yale University. In 2022, Mansharamani was a candidate for the United States Senate.

Client reviews

  • One of the most important topics in global economics today was presented with enthusiasm and humor, supported by well-researched analysis. This attention-grabbing presentation is a must for anyone who’s looking ahead to the Next Big Boom (or Bust).

  • Vikram is a wonderful speaker. He engaged the audience from his opening comments and kept them entertained and informed until the end. The Q and A session was equally beneficial. He handled all the questions with colorful concise answers and encouraged everyone to participate. The audience clearly enjoyed the presentation and gave him great reviews in the survey. I would certainly recommend him to any group that needs insight into Bubbles and the Global Economy.

  • Vikram is a lively and engaging speaker. Right from the first moment Vikram steps on stage he captivates the audience and involves them in the session – no one is looking at Blackberries or leaving the room – they are all fascinated with what he has to say. Vikram is a very versatile speaker – he can give thoughtful and entertaining solo presentations communicating a clear and relevant business message but in addition he is a real asset to panel discussions- he encourages debate and creates a compelling dialogue. You can trust Vikram to add value, insight and personality to any conference.

  • Rare is the speaker that offers a perspective culled from a variety of disciplines. Seeking such a person, we booked Vikram to speak to our group, which is comprised of CFA charter holders with a wealth of experience in financial markets. He was someone we thought would inspire outside-the-box thinking, and he delivered in spades. Vikram offered a broad, macro-level presentation that exposed our audience to potential opportunities and threats facing the world. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable, dynamic speaker whose presentation just might change your worldview – he certainly changed a few among our group.

  • Dr. Mansharamani is a talented speaker who connects with his audience. He is able to distill broad themes into relatable bites through illustrative and effective storytelling and use of visual images. He invites the audience to engage directly with him and they do! He is adept at and seems to enjoy responding to questions and challenges to his point of view. Dr. Mansharamani was among the best speakers we’vve had in our Author Series – evidence: the long line of people who sought to meet him and ask more questions following his presentation.

  • Vikram was fantastic. He’s such a nice man; really personable and genuine. Our conference attendees loved his presentation–and I mean loved! I suspect that he will be the highest rated speaker at this event.

  • Great session by Vikram in my opinion, and informal feedback has been quite positive. He didn’t stint on the prep time (in fact he asked for more), and it showed in how well prepared he was for the Invesco audience.

  • Thank you again for working with us for the Industry Business Forum and Convening leaders. Quite simply you were GREAT.  The content was enriching for all, high level and you forced us to think differently.

  • Vikram has been a speaker at several of our client events in the past.  His dynamic and entertaining talk on the boom & bust cycles is not only very engaging but it really pushes the audience to think outside the box.  He leaves us inspired about “connecting the dots.
