The Hill and Guardian columnist Gene Marks explains how leaders are navigating economic changes, tariff uncertainty, workplace challenges and technology investments.
As a regular columnist for The Hill and The Guardian and frequent guest on Fox News and other national outlets, Gene Marks spends his time analyzing the political and economic decisions coming out of Washington — and translating what they actually mean for business owners and industry leaders.
In this high-energy, insightful presentation, Gene connects the dots between public policy and business strategy. He explains how regulation, trade policy, workforce shortages, midterm elections, tariffs, and inflation will directly impact hiring, costs, supply chains, and profitability over the next 12–36 months.
This keynote will address how leaders are:
✓ Utilizing economic data that makes sense
✓ Adapting to the regulatory environment under the current administration
✓ Navigating trade shifts and tariff exposure
✓ Tackling labor market dynamics and workforce shortages
✓ Managing through inflation and higher costs
✓ Preparing for the midterms
✓ Investing in technology
This is not a partisan talk — it’s a practical business briefing designed to help leaders anticipate change, reduce risk, and position their organizations for growth regardless of political outcomes.
A past columnist for both The New York Times and The Washington Post, Gene now writes regularly for The Guardian, The Hill, Forbes, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Washington Times and The Chicago Daily Herald.
Gene also hosts a Thrive podcast where he interviews politicians, economists, policy makers, celebrities and entrepreneurs that impact business.
Gene has written 5 books on business management, specifically geared towards small and medium sized companies. His most recent is Want More Cash?: 100+ Ideas And Strategies For Increasing Your Company’s Cash Flow This Year.
Nationally, Gene appears regularly on Fox Business, MSNBC, as well as CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor and SiriusXM’s Wharton Business Channel where he talks about the financial, economic and technology issues that affect business leaders today.
Gene owns and operates the Marks Group PC, a highly successful ten-person firm that provides technology and consulting services to small and medium sized businesses. Prior to starting the Marks Group PC, Gene, a Certified Public Accountant, spent nine years in the entrepreneurial services arm of the international consulting firm KPMG in Philadelphia where he was a Senior Manager.
