Peter St. Onge, PhD.

Dr. Peter St Onge — @ProfStOnge online — is being talked about everywhere because he is many things: A dynamic keynote speaker par excellence, a former MBA professor and PhD economist, a Fortune-500 corporate marketer in Mexico, Brazil, and Japan, a nightclub manager, and…an ex-bartender.

His corporate experience includes some of the biggest companies in the world in both consumer goods and large-scale infrastructure manufacturing.

His topics and areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: the Economy; Scenario Planning; Future Technologies; Entrepreneurship; Marketing; Liberty and Freedom.

He is available for Custom Briefings for executive and CEO Roundtables, looking at trends, opportunities and risks in specific industries. As Peter says “We’re at an inflection point in history, from economy to society to business. Those who see what’s coming can protect themselves. Those who don’t will wonder what just happened.”

At this point, many of you might be asking – who is this guy with the ridiculous shirts whose videos are all over Twitter? Well – Peter St Onge has quickly become wildly popular for his common-sense and humorous explanations of major events impacting the economy, business, our individual rights and freedoms, and what that means.

So whether it’s a conference on investing and strategy, a Bitcoin conference, or a liberty festival, Professor St Onge has become an in-demand keynote speaker and a bona fide online superstar.

In fact, Peter says he’d once been called “The most interesting Economist in the World” although with his classic wry wit, he ventures the person was probably drunk.

Peter has spoken at dozens of conferences and is a frequent guest on national TV including Charles Payne on Fox Business and Jesse Watters on Fox News.

For those of you who follow Peter’s economic and political commentary, you know that he weaves humor and passion into his analysis, and he brings levity, clarity, and call to action to very serious topics at all his talks. Peter will always tailor his message and keynote presentation appropriately for the audience he is speaking to.

Peter speaks near-native French, Spanish, Japanese, and Philadelphian, and is happy to deliver keynotes in those languages as well.
