SHARE OPINIONS & EXPERT INSIGHTS

Observer welcomes business leaders with robust experience to share informed opinions about the people, events and trends impacting the industries we cover. Expert Insights is a collection of thoughtful and timely opinion pieces from business leaders who bring deep (and often rare) understandings of how and why ideas move across industries to impact the flow of capital and drive innovation. These expert contributors identify, connect and translate trends in media, tech, finance, arts, entertainment, hospitality, retail and beyond. Most importantly, they can explain the roles of policy and culture in shaping these narratives.
