His first book, The Ten Principles Behind Great Customer Experiences, won the CMI’s Management Book of the Year in 2014. His second book, The Grid: The Master Model Behind Business Success, was published to critical acclaim in 2017.

Csaba Konkoly was born and raised in Hungary, and launched his first business as a teenager, importing cars from Italy after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. While studying economics at university, he taught himself to trade bonds and currencies, and spent the next 17 years building and running hedge funds around the world, culminating in a $2+ billion global macro fund.
