About Byron Gangnes
The economy is complicated. Understanding it shouldn\'t be. I help business leaders, board members, and conference audiences make sense of what\'s happening in the US and global economy — and what it means for the decisions they\'re making right now. My presentations are substantive enough for sophisticated executives and accessible enough for diverse rooms, with insights participants can actually use. I speak on the US and global economic outlook, immigration economics, policy impacts, and the forces shaping where the economy is headed. I\'m known for translating complexity into clarity without losing the nuance that makes the analysis worth having. What people say:\"Byron\'s insights don\'t just make the material understandable — they empower credit union leaders with the knowledge to make strategic decisions.\" — Tony Ferris, CEO, Rochdale \"Dynamic, effective, and pitched at just the right level.\" — Mark Fukunaga, Executive Chair, Servco Pacific Background: Professor Emeritus of Economics and Senior Research Fellow at UHERO, University of Hawaii at Manoa. PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. United Nations forecaster (Project LINK). WPC Recommended Speaker. Member, National Speakers Association. LinkedIn Top Voice. I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico with my wife Hilary. We have two grown daughters. Speaking inquiries: byrongangnes.com/speaking | One-sheet: byrongangnes.com/speakeronesheet
