Leo M. Tilman at the 2010 New York Forum

Leo Tilman (born 1971) is an American financial executive and author. He is a professor at Columbia University and president of L.M. Tilman & Co, a global strategic advisory firm.

Tilman is credited with predicting the global financial crisis of 2007-2009 by showing the unsustainable nature of global imbalances and behaviors in his book Financial Darwinism. He is a leading authority on corporate strategy, financial markets, and risk. In collaboration with Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps, he co-authored a Harvard Business Review article that called for the creation of the First National Bank of Innovation as a remedy for restoring U.S. economic dynamism. In a more recent European Financial Review article, he redefined risk intelligence and designated it “new essential competence” for financial institutions and investors who aspire to create lasting value and contribute to economies and societies.

Tilman was profiled as Business Visionary by Forbes and named Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum for “professional accomplishments, commitment to society and potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world.”

Career and Education

Before founding an advisory firm that bears his name, Tilman was Chief Institutional Strategist and Senior Managing Director at Bear Stearns and an executive at BlackRock.
