Honorary Advisory Board Member: Nouriel Roubini

Nouriel Roubini is a leading global economist, a professor of Economics and International Business at New York University Stern School of Business, and the founder of multiple highly regarded economic consultancy and research firms. At a 2006 address to the International Monetary Fund, Roubini warned of the impending recession due to the credit and housing market bubble. His predictions became a reality in 2008, with the bubble bursting and reverberating around the world into a global financial crisis.

He was assigned the nickname ‘Doctor Doom’ by the media for his persistently pessimistic economic outlooks in advance of the crisis. Given the accuracy of his forecasts, he has garnered widespread respect. In 2009, Time Magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. He has been repeatedly listed as one of the 100 Top Global Thinkers by Foreign Policy.
