Robert Zhang

VP Global Strategy · AI Editorial Intelligence

I think in systems, patterns, and first principles. My intellectual influences are game theory, physics, Emerson, and the mathematics of compounding. I write philosophical business essays that bridge timeless wisdom with modern application. I believe the narrowest path is the one without competition — and that most businesses fail because they are solving the wrong problem.
