Nili Gilbert Biography
Nili Gilbert is one of the most influential voices on the questions that matter most to decision-makers today: where the global economy is heading, what it demands of leaders and institutions, and where the most consequential opportunities are hidden in plain sight. As an Independent Board Director of Brookfield Asset Management, a leading global alternative asset manager with over $1 trillion in assets under management, she oversees strategy, capital allocation, and the firm's significant investments in digital infrastructure supporting the growth of AI. She also serves as Vice Chairwoman of Carbon Direct Capital and chairs the David Rockefeller Fund Investment Committee.
Gilbert's foundation is in global macroeconomic investing. She co-founded Matarin Capital, one of the largest women-owned asset managers in the United States, and previously managed over $25 billion in assets at Invesco. She co-chairs the Milken Institute Geo-Economics Leadership Network, is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and is recognized among Barron's 100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance and TIME100 Climate. Her TED Talk has nearly two million views.

Nili Gilbert Speaking Topics

Where Are You Putting Your Bets? AI, Capital, and the New Rules of Competitive Advantage
Capital is moving toward AI and related infrastructure at a pace and concentration that is reshaping national competitive positions, redirecting institutional investment mandates, and redrawing the map of technological power. Every organization is making its own capital allocation decisions inside that landscape, whether it knows it or not. Decisions about talent, technology, and organizational structure carry the same compounding logic as financial ones: early misallocations are cheap to make and expensive to reverse. Drawing on two decades of investing across market cycles, this talk gives corporate leaders the investor's discipline applied to their own organizations: how to identify where attention and resources are flowing, where the returns will actually be, and how to redirect both before the window closes.

Competing in the Blind Spot: How to Focus on What Matters Most
The biggest strategic mistakes organizations make are invisible at the time: initiatives that didn't come forward, markets that weren't entered, capabilities that weren't built while attention and capital flowed elsewhere. Drawing on experience across institutional investment, board governance, and technology markets, this talk examines why organizations systematically misallocate resources during periods of structural transformation, and what the leaders who get it right do differently. The result is a practical framework for identifying where your organization's blind spots are before your competitors find them first.
