She has spent decades analyzing and investigating economic and financial events at the ground level and meeting with those that shape the world’s geo-political-economic framework. She continues to break stories by conducting independent research, writing best-selling books, and traversing the globe to share her knowledge and demystify the world of money.Before becoming a renowned best-selling author and public speaker, Nomi reached the upper echelons of the financial world where she worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs, ran the international analytics group as a senior managing director at Bear Stearns in London, was a strategist at Lehman Brothers and an analyst at the Chase Manhattan Bank. During her time on Wall Street, she grew increasingly aware of and discouraged by the unethical practices that permeated the banking industry. Eventually, she decided enough was enough and became an author with the goal of shedding light on the ways that financial systems are manipulated to serve the interests of an elite few at the expense of everyone else.Nomi makes regular television appearances on BBC, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, CSPAN, Democracy Now, Fox and PBS. She has been a guest on hundreds of radio shows including for Marketplace, NPR, BBC, and Canadian Programming. She has also appeared in several award-winning documentaries alongside other prominent thought-leaders. Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Fortune, Newsday, The Guardian, The Nation, New York Daily News, La Vanguardia, and Salon.com, among other publications.She established international distinction for her presentation at the annual gathering of senior level governors and officials hosted by the Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank conference in Washington D.C. Represented by the American Program Bureau, Nomi has delivered keynote speeches at many prominent global venues including the London School of Economics, the UK Parliament, the Mexican Senate, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Google, Columbia University and the National Consumer Law Center.Prins’ insights and unparalleled observations have made her sought by politicians from all parties for advice and analysis of the financial system and the economy. She coined the term “permanent distortion” that describes how the Federal Reserve has created conditions where markets are feeding off its monetary policy decisions.Nomi received her BS in Math from SUNY Purchase, and MS in Statistics from New York University. Nomi received her PhD in International Strategic Studies with a specialization in International Political Economy from The Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.Nomi Prins - Prinsights Global - https://prinsightsglobal.com/X - https://x.com/nomiprinsSubstack - https://substack.com/@prinsights?utm_source=global-searchWTFinance - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas
