OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Mark Zandi

ARCHETYPE

The Navigator

Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.

Mark Zandi earns The Navigator by steering through turbulence rather than pretending it away. He will name the precipice of recession while insisting on humility about policy-driven volatility, a rare pairing of candor and restraint. His cross-partisan advisory posture and his admission that the world is a very messy place reveal a chief economist who charts course by real conditions, not by ideology or the false comfort of model-bound certainty.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY NAVIGATOR

“The economy struggling. I think it's on the precipice of recession. I have to be humble because what ails the economy is pretty obvious. It's economic policy, and it can change quickly.”
ASSESSING CURRENT US ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

“I've always provided advice when asked from both sides of the aisle. I've always been nonpartisan, tried my very best to be nonpartisan.”
ON BIPARTISAN ADVISORY ROLE

“I thought everything could be solved with the model. Now I know the world is a very messy place.”
