BUSINESS + ECONOMICS
An Era of Global Realignment
Interpreting the economic, technological, and geopolitical forces redefining modern markets.
Business leaders are operating through a period where technological acceleration and geopolitical instability are reshaping long-standing assumptions about markets, labor, and global growth. Artificial intelligence is forcing institutions to reconsider the role of human expertise at the same moment economic nationalism and political fragmentation are making the global operating environment far less predictable. Increasingly, corporate leadership requires navigating not a single disruption, but several converging at once.
Our work engages the ideas and institutions shaping this evolving economic landscape, from the future of work and financial innovation to industrial policy, global markets, and the changing balance between states and private enterprise. We understand how business conversations now move fluidly across economic, political, cultural, and technological arenas, and how leaders and organizations must position themselves within that complexity in ways that feel credible, informed, and consequential rather than reactive to the moment.

Rimjhim and her team are a delight and dynamos of creativity. They are always thinking, thinking, thinking on how to convey a message, reach an intended audience, educate the public, build a consensus, and generally engage with the public and the policy debate. In a word, amazing.

Rimjhim Dey is indefatigable in her efforts to find new venues—and new audiences—for her projects/clients. Rimjhim looks out for the long-term interests of her clients and that is exactly what you need on any kind of marketing/publicity campaign . . . and unfortunately, something you rarely get. And, she is lovely to work with to boot! I warmly recommend her.
– Ian Bremmer
President, Eurasia Group
We hired DEY. to help us strategically and effectively announce Harvard Business School’s Gender Initiative—we wanted to ensure that our newest research reached a broad, informed audience and to kick off an ongoing conversation about gender and work that shifted attention away from tired stereotypes. Rimjhim immediately understood that we were looking for substance over splash and shaped her approach to serve our priorities—nothing about the process was “cookie-cutter.” As a result, we received not only a great deal of coverage, in top outlets, across print, radio, and television, but found the coverage to be uniformly thoughtful and overwhelmingly positive. Rimjhim excelled at identifying the research that would pique media interest and tailoring each pitch to capture the right person’s attention, while managing to stay true to our core messages, which were quite nuanced. The visibility that our work with DEY. created has raised the Initiative’s profile as a leader in the domain of gender and diversity. She and her excellent team were tireless in their efforts to get our work in front as many audiences as possible and adept at working one-on-one with multiple members of our team. And their persistent enthusiasm buoyed our own commitment to the launch.

Professor and Senior Associate Dean, Harvard Business School
"DEY has been a strong partner in sharing the work of the Global Fund partnership in key media outlets to build support for communities where we work. They took the time to understand our organization and were quick to match our leaders and experts to opportunities with top-tier outlets and editors. Their expertise, insight, and thoughtful collaboration introduced us to new potential partners —particularly in the U.S.—and amplified our voice on critical global health issues. In short, they are exceedingly smart, connected to the right people and tirelessly dedicated to the mission of their clients."

Working with the DEY. team is like having an ongoing conversation with friends, who happen to be very knowledgeable about the ever fluctuating media landscape. They help us sift through the opportunities, taking much stress out of the process, and of course identify and generate new ones.

Rimjhim Dey offers thoughtful and creative advice on communications strategy and messaging. She has an uncanny ability to translate an idea into a news hook for communication. Every conversation with her is fresh and thought-provoking. I recommend her enthusiastically.
– Glenn Hubbard
Dean Emeritus, Columbia Business School, Former Chairman, White House Council of Economic Advisors under George W. Bush
A tireless and skilled navigator of the complex sea of messages, priorities, schedules, and personalities that constitute the world of media and communication, I cannot imagine a more powerful advocate than the DEY. team. They immediately understood what was important to me and what aspects of my ideas would resonate with the media. They focused on that critical intersection and did not relent until they delivered on her promise to turn 'ideas into influence.
– Peter Blair Henry
Dean Emeritus, NYU Stern School of Business, Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution
The DEY. Team were cheerful, encouraging and helpful companions, cheerleaders and guides through the largely internet-mediated world that has sprouted since my prior book.
