Stephan Meier is the James P. Gorman Professor of Business and Chair of the Management Division at Columbia Business School. A behavioral economist by training (PhD, University of Zurich), he previously served as a senior economist at the Boston Fed. His research sits at the intersection of behavioral economics, strategy, and the future of work. In The Employee Advantage (PublicAffairs/Hachette, 2024), Meier argues that firms should apply the same rigor and toolkit used for customer-centricity to their employee experience—and that doing so can boost profitability, innovation, and talent attraction/retention.
