Nili Gilbert Biography

Nili Gilbert, CFA, CAIA, is one of the most influential voices on the questions reshaping global markets: where the economy is heading, what AI and geopolitics mean for strategy today, and how leaders and institutions can identify opportunities to build sustainable value.

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 strategic planning, capital allocation, and significant investments in digital infrastructure supporting the growth of AI. As Vice Chairwoman of Carbon Direct Capital and a Senior Advisor at McKinsey, she applies a global investor’s lens to the intersection of emerging technology and industrial systems transformation. Together, these roles place her at the center of the most consequential questions of our time.

Her career spans the full arc of institutional asset management. She co-founded Matarin Capital, scaling it into one of the largest women-owned asset managers in the United States, and previously served as Senior Director at Invesco Quantitative Strategies, managing over $25 billion in assets for institutional clients. She currently chairs the David Rockefeller Fund Investment Committee.

Named to Barron's 100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance and TIME100 Climate, Gilbert is also a Forbes contributor and has been a frequent commentator on international markets and economic strategy on CNBC and Bloomberg Television. Her TED Talk has nearly two million views.

She has delivered hundreds of speaking engagements across six continents, from Davos to the G20, World Bank to the Vatican, Swiss Re to First Abu Dhabi Bank, Fortune to Bloomberg.

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.
