Linda Nazareth

Linda Nazareth is an economist, a futurist and a respected authority on the future of work. As a newspaper columnist and an author, she knows how to frame things in ways that both educate and entertain and as the Senior Fellow for Economics and Population Change at think-tank the Macdonald Laurier Institute, she knows what she is talking about. She is also the host of "Work and the Future," a podcast that explores trends around the labor force and the workplace.

Nazareth’s career has taken some non-traditional turns for someone in her field, and her career has spanned government, finance, and media, including a decade spent on-air at Bloomberg/BNN. During her time on BNN, she started writing books and giving keynote presentations, and eventually left daily broadcasting to give those passions her full-time attention. Her clients have included everyone from American Express through to The Economist Magazine, and all have benefitted from her ability to take big ideas and distill them into information that they can use for their own strategic plans.

Nazareth’s new book, "Working it Out: Getting Ready for the Redesigned World of Work," draws on the research she has been building for years as well as the insights gained from interacting with audiences across a range of sectors. With it, she is eager to engage people in thinking about what the world might look like in the wake of the pandemic as we make conscious decisions about what we want the next phase of work to look like.
