Nassim N. Taleb has led three high profile careers, literary, scientific, and financial, around uncertainty, risk, and the fragility of human knowledge, packaged into his idea of “Black Swan Events”. He is a literary essayist, a distinguished professor, and a veteran derivatives trader and hedge fund manager. He is known for a multidisciplinary approach to the role of the high-impact rare event (“Black Swan”) –across philosophy, economics, finance, engineering, cognitive science, and history. His current program is to design ways to live in a world we don’t quite understand and help “robustify” the world against Black Swan Events. Taleb is, among other books and research papers, the author of the NYT Bestseller The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. His books have more than three million copies in print in 32 languages, making him one the most read and most translated thinkers in history. Taleb is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University Polytechnic Institute. He has an MBA from Wharton and a PhD from the University of Paris.
