Thierry Malleret is the co-founder and main author of the Monthly Barometer, a succinct predictive analysis exclusively provided to private investors and some of today’s most influential opinion and decision-makers.

Until 2011 Malleret was a senior partner at IJ (Informed Judgment) Partners, an investment boutique for ultra-high-net-worth individuals based in Geneva, and prior to that managing partner at Rainbow Insight, an advisory boutique which he founded, providing tailor-made intelligence to investors.

Previously, Malleret founded and headed the Global Risk Network at the World Economic Forum, a network that brings together top opinion and policymakers, CEOs and academics to look at how global issues will affect business and society in the short and long term.

For a number of years in succession, Malleret conceived and put in place the programme for Davos and spoke at global, industry and regional events. His other professional experience includes: investment banking (as a Chief Economist and Strategist of a major Russian investment bank and as an Economist at the EBRD in London), think tanks and academia (both in New York and Oxford) and government (with a three-year spell in the Prime Minister’s office in Paris).

Malleret has written several business and academic books including Global Risks – Business Success in Turbulent Times, and Disequilibrium – A World out of Kilter. This last book foresees a world lurching from one global crisis to the next as it becomes much more susceptible to shocks and surprises than just a few years ago.

Malleret’s most recent book Around the World in 40 Minutes predicts how radically transformed our world will look in 10 years’ time with over half of the world’s employees replaced by machines. He explains how we can best approach these unprecedented changes, so as to come out better prepared.

Malleret is a much sought after public speaker all over the world and sits on several advisory boards. He was educated at the Sorbonne and Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris and at St. Antony’s College, Oxford. He holds two MAs and a PhD in Economics.
