Today, I have the delight of introducing Adam Robinson, someone I consider a mentor, an incredible thinker who has a unique but masterful way of looking at the market and how it operates.

Adam is the founder of Robinson Global Strategies where he conveys his wisdom on a global macro strategy to some of the most prominent hedge fund managers and family offices in the world. He uses a unique approach that combines game theory, systems thinking, Bayesian analysis, and behavioral economics to outsmart global markets.

He is also a chess master and entrepreneur, having founded the Princeton Review after graduating from Oxford University which helps students pass the tests that get them into their dream schools.
