Henry Tricks

Henry Tricks is a key figure in the publishing company, The Economist, a world news, international business, and politically themed newspaper. Starting as a capital-markets editor, Henry's expert influence has firmly positioned him as a respected economist, as well as a highly sought after finance speaker. While attending events, he can illuminate the room with his stories of global economics, inviting audiences to follow him through the highs and lows of financial events.

In 2006, Henry started working for The Economist as their Capital Markets Editor, following a short period with The Financial Times as their Bureau Chief in Mexico, and with the news organisation, Reuters. Only a year later, he was promoted to Financial Editor, before being promoted again to Tokyo and Mexico City Bureau Chief for over five years. As a finance speaker, Henry touches upon this period of his life, discussing how he rose through the ranks of one of the most respected financial publications in the world.

In 2015, Henry became The Economists' Energy and Commodities Editor, before being promoted again to Schumpeter Columnist in 2019. The prestigious role is named after Joseph Schumpeter, a "champion of innovation and entrepreneurship". Joseph was an Austrian political economist, famed for his coining of the term "creative destruction" in economics. This position perfectly captures Henry's incredible influence within The Economics, as an authority on future energy technologies, the geopolitics of energy, the future of oil and global investment banking.

As a finance speaker, few economists have Henry's breadth of influence. From his platform with The Economist, he has become one of the most respected speakers on the circuit, capable of eloquently exploring commonly complex topics like geopolitics and international financial crisis.
