Adam LeBor is a British author, journalist and writing coach whose work spans investigative non-fiction, fiction and international reporting across more than 30 countries. His incisive analysis of global affairs combines historical depth with contemporary relevance.
Adam contributes regularly to The Times, Financial Times, The Critic and Monocle. His book "Hitler's Secret Bankers" was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize, while "City of Oranges" earned acclaim from both The New York Times and The Guardian. His eight non-fiction works and multiple fiction series have been translated into fourteen languages.
Adam helps organisations navigate complex geopolitical landscapes by providing context-rich insights drawn from his frontline reporting experiences. His background covering the Yugoslav wars, the collapse of Communism and other pivotal historical moments equips him to illuminate how past events shape current business environments and political risk factors.
Audiences gain practical frameworks for understanding international relations beyond headlines, developing more nuanced approaches to cross-cultural business challenges, and recognising early indicators of geopolitical shifts that might affect strategic planning. Adam's journalism background ensures presentations deliver substance rather than speculation.
Book Adam for a rare combination of scholarly rigour and journalistic clarity that transforms how your audience understands global affairs and their business implications.
