Dror Poleg is an economic historian and former tech and private-equity executive. He charts how AI and other technologies reshape work, places, and markets — for more than 30,000 newsletter readers and the leadership teams at companies like JPMorgan, UBS, and HSBC.
His forthcoming book (Simon & Schuster, 2027) sets out the new rules of work, wealth, and power in an economy that no longer behaves linearly. His first book, Rethinking Real Estate (2019), examined how technology reshapes offices, labor markets, and cities. Dror's writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Atlantic, and his analysis has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and NBC.
Dror’s research and keynotes explore economic and technological changes that are easy to miss while they are small and impossible to ignore once they compound. His readers gained early insights into the defining shifts of the past decade, from remote work and the K-shaped economy to generative AI and COVID-19.
Dror holds a Master's in Economic History from the London School of Economics and has spoken at the University of Zurich, Wharton, MIT, and Columbia. He draws on firsthand experience as a startup founder, investor, parliamentary adviser, and combat veteran, and on years of living and working in Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. He lives in New York with his wife and three children.
