Background

About Gavin Serkin

Author of FT "must read" book, Frontier: Exploring the Top Ten Emerging Markets of Tomorrow (Bloomberg, Wiley) and co-author of Chain Reaction: How Blockchain Will Transform the Developing World (Palgrave Macmillan). After more than two decades as a journalist, most recently as Bloomberg Editor-at-Large for emerging markets, I founded New Markets Media & Intelligence in 2015 to help draw responsible investment flows and activity through advancing a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities in emerging and frontier markets and transformative technology. Through research, intelligence and engagement with the world’s most influential journalists, broadcasters, events organisers, researchers, legislators and investors, we connect people with ideas. Every day we identify themes that help build awareness of the true socioeconomic and investment landscape by channeling our own insights and those of our clients through news and research reports, features, broadcasts, opinion editorials and discussion forums. We consistently challenge international media and investors in categorising new technology, frontier and emerging markets as inherently high-risk and volatile. We provide context, data and analysis to journalists, analysts and investors to help engender sophisticated and constructive commentary.
