Author of THE GRAY RHINO and YOU ARE WHAT YOU RISK
Strategist, best-selling author, and popular TED Talk speaker Michele Wucker coined the term “gray rhino” as a call to take a fresh look at obvious, probable, impactful risks so that we can respond to them more effectively. She founded the Chicago-based advisory firm Gray Rhino & Company, drawing on her experiences as a financial and policy media and think tank executive. Her four books include the influential global bestseller THE GRAY RHINO: How to Recognize and Act on the Obvious Dangers We Ignore (2016) and the sequel, YOU ARE WHAT YOU RISK: The New Art and Science of Navigating an Uncertain World (2021).
