Biography & Author's Journey
Geoffrey A. Moore is an American author, management thinker, speaker, and adviser whose work helped give the technology industry a durable language for understanding how innovations spread. Born in Portland, Oregon, he came to business from the humanities rather than engineering, earning a bachelor’s degree in American literature from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in English literature from the University of Washington. He began professionally as an English professor at Olivet College in Michigan, a background that shaped his later style: he was less interested in abstract theory for its own sake than in helping people name patterns clearly enough to act on them.
