Malcolm Gladwell is a best-selling author, a writer for The New Yorker, and a speaker widely known for his ability to dig up and make sense of obscure social and scientific patterns behind everyday life in ways that speak to and captivate general audiences. Born in the United Kingdom and raised in Canada, Gladwell graduated with a degree in history from the University of Toronto. He began as a journalist at The American Spectator, then moved on to The Washington Post, where he wrote business and science pieces. In 1996, Gladwell became a staff writer for The New Yorker, through which he has produced many influential pieces.Among Gladwell's five New York Times bestsellers are "The Tipping Point," "Blink," "Outliers," "What the Dog Saw," and "David and Goliath." They span thematic areas such as decision-making, success factors, dynamics of change, and social change, more than often pointing out to the reader what is counter-intuitive in any of the subjects above.

His speaking engagements span a wide range of topics, from creativity and innovation, leadership, and management to the social context of entrepreneurship. One of the most demanded speakers at various conferences and symposiums, Gladwell speaks on diverse topics with his peculiar humor and excellent storytelling talent.The works he has produced range very broadly—not only books and articles but also as a highly demanded public intellectual who puts his ideas into action within contemporary discussion and debate.
