Alex Edmans bridges academic rigor with practical business insights as a Professor of Finance at London Business School and Emeritus Professor at Gresham College. His expertise lies in demonstrating how purpose-driven business strategies create sustainable financial value.
Alex authored the award-winning book "Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit" and "May Contain Lies." His TED talks have garnered over 2.8 million views, while his research appears in prestigious publications including the American Economic Review and Journal of Finance.
Drawing from experience at Morgan Stanley, Wharton School, and as Academic Director of the LBS Centre for Corporate Governance, Alex helps organizations navigate the false dichotomy between profit and purpose. He provides evidence-based frameworks enabling companies to implement responsible business practices that enhance long-term shareholder value rather than sacrificing it.
