Education
Meyer holds BAs in both Mathematics and Economics from Brandeis University, and a M.B.A. with Distinction from The Harvard Business School. In addition, he held a University Pre-doctoral Fellowship in Economics at the University of Pennsylvania.
Career
From 1984 to 1995, Meyer was a Vice President and Group Head at Mercer Management Consulting (now Oliver Wyman), where he founded and built the firm's practice in the information industries, comprising telecommunications, hardware, software, and information services and media.
From 1995 until December 2002, Meyer was the Director of the Center for Business Innovation at Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. He transformed the Center from an institutional university model to a networked research capability, anticipating issues from the "global, mobile, always-on" network to the rising importance of intangible assets. While at the Center, Meyer also founded and served on the Board of BiosGroup, a venture with Santa Fe Institute Stuart Kauffman that invested in applications of complexity theory to business.
In 2004, Meyer founded and became Chief Executive of Monitor Networks, a Monitor Group company; in 2006 he founded Monitor Talent, a business based on the view of markets for human capital contained in his book Future Wealth.
Meyer serves on the Boards of Icosystem, the Bankinter Foundation for Innovation, the Business Innovation Factory, and the New Repertory Theatre, and the Advisory Boards of Innocentive and LaunchCyte.
Writing
His fourth book, Standing on the Sun - How the Explosion of Capitalism Abroad Will Change Business Everywhere, about how capitalism evolves as the economic center of gravity shifts to low-income, fast-growth, digital-native economies, was published by Harvard Business School Press in February 2012. Seth Godin included Standing on the Sun in his Booklist for 2012. Craig Torres of Bloomberg BusinessWeek Magazine says Standing on the Sun is an "insightful look at how the information economy is reshaping companies and economies".
He has previously published three books about adaptive enterprise and network-based innovation, including the BusinessWeek Best Seller Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy, Future Wealth, and It’s Alive: The Coming Convergence of Information, Biology and Business.
He blogs on the Harvard Business Review site, and has contributed to publications including Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, Fast Company, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, and BusinessWeek.
