Tom Stewart

Editor and Managing Director Harvard Business Review

Thomas A. Stewart is the Editor and Managing Director of the Harvard Business Review. Prior to joining HBR, he was Editorial Director of Business 2.0 and a member of the Board of Editors of Fortune. In a series of Fortune articles, he pioneered the field of intellectual capital, which led to his groundbreaking 1997 book, Intellectual Capital: The New Wealth of Organizations. In turn, Intellectual Capital was named one of the most important business books of the year by the Financial Times, and has been translated into seventeen languages. His second book, The Wealth of Knowledge: Intellectual Capital and the Twenty-first Century Organization, published early in 2002, reveals how today's companies are applying the concept of intellectual capital into day-to-day operations to dramatically increase their success in the marketplace.

Mr. Stewart, a Fellow of the World Economic Forum, served as a judge for the Republic of Singapore’s inaugural "Innovation Award." In 2005, the European Foundation for Management Development, named him 13th on the "The Thinkers Fifty" list. In 1999, the American Society for Training and Development gave him its second "Champion of Workplace Learning and Performance Award." In 1996, Business Intelligence awarded Stewart its inaugural "Knowledge Management Awareness Award" for his contributions to the field of knowledge management. In 1993, the Journal of Financial Reporting named Mr. Stewart to its "Blue Chip Newsroom" of best business journalists. The previous year, he received the Gay and Lesbian Alliance against Defamation Media Award for his December 1991 cover story, "Gay in Corporate America."

Mr. Stewart, 58, graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College with a BA in English literature and holds an honorary Doctor of Science degree from City University, London. He is married and has two children.
