He works chiefly with senior business, government, military and other thought leaders, both in the US and worldwide.

This fellowship presents a unique opportunity to combine a variety of substantive and experiential activities and challenges while working directly with Amory. The work will require the Fellow to understand the substance of Amory's diverse activities and the mission of the Institute and play an important role in moving this work forward.

The most successful candidate will be able to work equally well with "soft" and "hard" information and analysis, and to combine qualitative and quantitative data into compelling documents, presentations and conclusions. Language skills, travel experience, and diverse interests are a plus.
