Over the last two decades, Eric Ries’s ideas about continuous innovation, long-term thinking, governance and market reform have reshaped company building and management practices.  He is the creator of the Lean Startup method, and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup; The Leader’s Guide; and The Startup Way.  His latest book, Incorruptible, explores how governance, incentives, and leadership shape corporate behavior, and what it takes to build companies that stay mission-driven, accountable, and resilient as they scale. https://www.incorruptible.co

As a founder, he has put his own ideas into practice with The Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE); Answer.AI, an AI R&D lab; the Lean Startup Co, which teaches and supports the implementation of Lean Startup; Virgil, a legal services startup; and IMVU, where the ideas that became the Lean Startup method were forged.  On his podcast, The Eric Ries Show, he talks to guests including world-class technologists, thought leaders, and executives working to build profitable companies for the long-term benefit of society.
