Erin Meyer

Erin Meyer is a professor at INSEAD, one of the leading international business schools. Her work focuses on how the world's most successful managers navigate the complexities of cultural differences in a global environment. She helps companies develop organizational cultures that breed both flexibility and innovation.

Living and working in Africa, Europe, and the United States prompted Erin’s study of communication patterns and business systems around the world. Her Culture Map framework allows international executives to pinpoint their leadership preferences and compare them to the management styles of other cultures.

Erin has taught thousands of executives from five continents to decode cross-cultural complexities and work more effectively across differences.
She also conducted an in-depth study with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings on building a corporate culture that is inventive, fast, and flexible. The results were published in their book: No Rules Rules (Penguin Press, 2020).

Erin publishes frequently in Harvard Business Review and has also contributed to The New York Times, Forbes, and The Times of India. She has been interviewed on CNN, Bloomberg TV, the BBC, and NPR.

In 2023, she was listed by Thinkers50 as one of the fifty most impactful business writers in the world.
An American living in Paris, she began her career in Botswana as a Peace Corps volunteer and regularly gives keynotes for organizations such as the World Bank, Google, Johnson & Johnson, and L’Oréal.
