Anthony Tjan's biography

At a glance

  • New York Times bestselling author on leadership
  • Serial entrepreneur and venture capital investor
  • Cofounder of an inclusive permanent capital firm
Anthony Tjan is a serial entrepreneur, venture investor, and New York Times bestselling author whose work sits at the intersection of people-first leadership and long-term business building. Tony co-founded Cue Ball Capital, a permanent-capital venture firm that has committed more than 50% of its investments to women-led and inclusionary ventures, a rate 20 times the industry average. He is also the author of Good People: The Only Leadership Decision That Matters and a two-time TED main stage speaker. Tony's approach draws on decades of founding and scaling companies, from ZEFER, a $100M Internet advisory firm, to MiniLuxe, a lifestyle brand that has created economic mobility for a predominantly female workforce from marginalized backgrounds. His track record proves that prioritizing character and inclusion produces compounding returns, both financial and cultural. He has contributed more than 125 articles to the Harvard Business Review and served as strategic advisor during the creation of Thomson Reuters. Audiences leave Tony's sessions with a framework for identifying and developing good people within their organizations, a practical model for building inclusive teams that outperform, and evidence that long-term, purpose-driven investment strategies generate superior outcomes. Book Tony Tjan to give your audience a proven blueprint for building organizations where goodness and growth reinforce each other.
