    Nicholas Bloom biography

    Speaker Nicholas Bloom is one of the world’s leading economists on productivity, innovation, and the future of work. He is the William Eberle Professor of Economics at Stanford University, a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR), and Co-Director of the Productivity, Innovation & Entrepreneurship Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

    Renowned for his groundbreaking research on remote and hybrid work, speaker Nicholas Bloom has advised companies, governments, and international organizations on designing work strategies that boost productivity, improve talent retention, and strengthen organizational culture in times of rapid change. His studies have been published in top academic journals and widely featured in media outlets such as The New York Times, The Economist, and Harvard Business Review.

    Before joining Stanford, Bloom worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company and as a policy advisor at the UK Treasury. He has led surveys of thousands of firms across the globe to measure the quality of management practices and understand how these influence competitiveness and employee well-being.

    In his keynotes, Bloom blends robust data with engaging delivery, offering practical insights on navigating economic uncertainty, managing hybrid and remote teams, and leveraging phenomena such as the “Donut Effect” to rethink where and how work gets done. His approach is consistently evidence-based, with clear, actionable recommendations leaders can implement immediately.

    His recent work shows that well-structured hybrid work not only maintains productivity but also improves employee satisfaction and reduces turnover. This positions him as a vital voice for organizations seeking to adapt to the future of work with realistic and effective strategies.
