Linda Yueh

Economist, Author, Authority on Global Markets, China & Strategic Economic Leadership

Linda Yueh is best known for explaining how economic power is shifting, and what that shift actually means for leaders making decisions today.

An economist, author, and broadcaster, her work focuses on the intersection of global markets, geopolitics, and policy, with particular expertise on China, Asia, and the changing architecture of the world economy. She examines how trade, technology, capital flows, and political systems interact, and why economic strategy can no longer be separated from geopolitical reality.

She has advised policymakers at the highest levels while also translating complex global dynamics for senior business audiences who need clarity, not theory.

For board-level audiences, Linda brings perspective rather than prediction. She helps leaders understand how global economic relationships are being reshaped, where assumptions about China, growth, and globalisation are outdated, and how organisations should think about risk, opportunity, and influence in a multipolar world.
