Global Forecaster Wants You to Succeed

Have you met Peter Hall?  If not, you should.

Thats because he has an excellent grasp of whats going on in the global economy and is passionate about helping Canadian businesses—especially exporters—take on the world and be successful.

Its our good fortune that Peter is a dear friend of Innovators Alliance. We welcome him to our annual Innovation Exchange event where he updates us on all things related to Canada, exporting, and the global economy.

Founder and CEO of Econosphere inc, Peter was formerly the Vice-President and Chief Economist of Export Development Canada for 13 years. Prior to that, he was their Deputy Chief Economist.

With over 35 years of experience in economic analysis and forecasting, Peter has an expert understanding of the global economy and its interaction with the geopolitical environment. Even though his forecasts are often considered contrary to the consensus”, his astute critical insights and forecasts have captured major movements, helping organizations position and prepare themselves appropriately.

Its easy to find Peter.  He has a weekly column in the Financial Post. Hes on LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter. His arresting headlines promise to help us understand a current problem, and the content always delivers.  Here are some of his recent postings:

Peter occasionally dips into economist terminology, but his bottom line is very easy to understand, pointing to practical business strategies that will position your company to capitalize on current national and global economic and political situations.

“Getting the remedies right is critical – our future viability depends on it.”
