Barry Nalebuff Biography

Barry Nalebuff is the Milton Steinbach Professor at Yale School of Management, where he has been teaching for over three decades. His expertise covers negotiation, innovation, strategy, game theory, and entrepreneurship. Nalebuff is the author of multiple influential books, including international best-sellers "Thinking Strategically: The Competitive Edge in Business, Politics, and Everyday Life," and "The Art of Strategy: A Game Theorist’s Guide to Success in Business and Life," both of which have been instrumental in introducing game theory to a broader audience. Other notable works include "Co-opetition," which explores the synthesis of competition and cooperation, "Why Not?: How to Use Everyday Ingenuity to Solve Problems Big and Small," offering a framework for creative problem-solving, and "Lifecycle Investing," proposing a novel strategy for retirement investing. His unique narrative, "Mission in a Bottle: The Honest Guide to Doing Business Differently—and Succeeding," presented in comic book format, details the journey and challenges of building Honest Tea, demonstrating his acumen in storytelling and business.

In 1998, Nalebuff, along with his former student Seth Goldman, co-founded Honest Tea, a company that became a pioneering brand in the bottled organic tea market and was recognized as one of Inc. magazine’s fastest-growing companies. The brand grew into a $100 million-dollar enterprise before being acquired by Coca-Cola in 2011. His entrepreneurial spirit continued with the founding of Kombrewcha, a slightly alcoholic kombucha brand, which was later acquired by AB-Inbev in 2016. Nalebuff is also involved in his latest venture, Real Made Foods, focusing on innovative food solutions.

Aside from his entrepreneurial endeavors, Nalebuff brings extensive consulting experience to multinational firms and previously advised the NBA in their negotiations with the National Basketball Players Association. He serves on several boards, including Q Drinks, Calicraft Beer, and AGP Glass, and actively contributes to entrepreneurship and business strategy through his writings, including a popular Forbes column. Nalebuff's educational contributions are also significant; he developed an online negotiation course available on Coursera, which boasts 400,000 active learners and holds the second-highest rating on the platform. His academic credentials are equally impressive, with a background as a graduate of MIT, a Rhodes Scholar, and earning his doctorate at Oxford University.

Barry Nalebuff Speaking Topics

  • Successful Negotiation.

    In the “world’s best talk on negotiation,” Barry Nalebuff approaches the art of negotiation from a new angle. When two parties are at odds over an issue, he believes the best way to approach the situation is to first ask, “What is the pie?” In other words, what are the participants negotiating over? What could they get separately versus what can they get together? How do you grow this “pie?” An expert negotiator who advised the NBA in their talks with the National Basketball Players Association, Nalebuff teaches audiences his framework for ensuring smooth and effective negotiations that benefit all parties involved.

  • Why Not? The New Method for Innovation.

    Nalebuff shares insights and techniques on how to take the things we see every day and think about them in a new way. He offers a primer for problem-solving with a purpose and bringing the world a few steps closer to the way it should be. Insisting that innovation is a skill that can be taught, Nalebuff distills it into a few rules of thumb, outlining four central idea-generating tools that are simple and fun. These techniques force audiences to think creatively and challenge conventional wisdom as they learn how to approach innovation in their own organizations.

  • Using Game Theory to Inform Business Strategy.

    Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It is the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. In fascinating presentations, Barry Nalebuff engages his audience and walks them through the practical applications of game theory to everyday business practices in order to help them create new, effective strategies for their own organizations. Using a diverse array of rich case studies—from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history—he shows how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it. Nalebuff then goes beyond the old rules of competition and cooperation to combine the advantages of both, leveraging an organization’s internal and external business relationships. With his sharp wit and warm sense of humor, he changes the way audiences look at strategy and innovation.
