Watch Eli in Action
About Eli Lake
If you think we are living in a time of unique peril, look at history, says Eli Lake. "We've come to similar crossroads before, perhaps even more volatile ones, and there are many lessons to learn about how we can shape our future," he explains.
As a journalist, Lake has covered subjects from the Iraq War to United States intelligence. That breadth of knowledge, steeped in history, helps leaders and investors understand current affairs and make better decisions in a fast-moving political environment: from weighing the potential outcomes of the current administration to assessing how warring countries in Eastern Europe will fare.
Eli's Keynote Topics
When trade wars become real wars, how can business leaders navigate the changing world mindfully and with agility? What is the likelihood and potential impact of conflict escalation in hotspots like the Middle East, Eastern Europe or the South China Sea? To answer lofty questions like these, Eli Lake, renowned columnist at The Free Press and previously Bloomberg, turns to history for the answers. A veteran journalist and gifted storyteller who hosts the popular Breaking History podcast, Lake’s curiosity and investigative skills have unleashed his secret sauce of being able to give business leaders a digestible, non-partisan, logical argument on current events through the lens of what we’ve already experienced as a society. As global markets and regulatory regimes are being reshaped by rising nationalist movements and shifting international alliances, his keynotes, fireside chats and debates leave audiences with a fresh, informed perspective and up-to-the-minute analysis on the most important details of today’s geopolitics. A gifted moderator who guides conversations with wit and rigor, Lake is a rare voice who translates history’s enduring patterns into actionable insight.
