Jordan Ellery studies resilience: why some economies bend under pressure while others break. Her doctoral work at the London School of Economics traced sixty years of recovery data across forty countries, and became the spine of her first book, “The Slow Recovery.”

Today she advises two central banks, sits on the advisory board of a sovereign development fund, and teaches a graduate seminar on institutional design at Edinburgh. Her writing appears in the Financial Times and Foreign Affairs, and her newsletter reaches thirty thousand policy readers each month.

On stage, Jordan is known for turning dense macroeconomic material into decisions an audience can act on the following Monday. She speaks around sixty times a year to boards, universities and public institutions across Europe and North America.
