Gary Belsky Biography

Gary Belsky is president of Elland Road Partners, a communications consultancy based in New York City. Current and former clients include 100 Yards To Go; Alliant Insurance, Artisan Books; CNN; Dow Jones; Hudson Yards; Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum; JPMorgan Asset Management; Reform Pension Board, Related Companies; The Robin Hood Foundation; The Aspen Institute; The Tennis Channel; Turner Media, and the WNBA.

The former editor in chief of ESPN The Magazine and ESPNInsider.com, Belsky is author of eight books, including the New York Times bestselling "On the Origins of Sports" and "Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes—and How to Correct Them: Lessons from the Life-Changing Science of Behavioral Economics."

Belsky lectures frequently on decision making, finance, and sports to business, government, nonprofit, and consumer audiences around the world. A graduate of the University of Missouri in his native St. Louis, Belsky was from 2001 through 2015 an adjunct professor of journalism at New York University.

An accomplished storyteller, Belsky has been a frequent guest (or host) on a variety of podcasts, including EconTalk and Social Studies with Jena Kingsley. He struggles (and mostly fails) not to tell people that he won his episode of Steven Dubner’s gameshow podcast, Tell Me Something I Don’t Know.

From 2007 through 2010, Belsky was co-host of a weekly sports show on SiriusXM, and in a previous life as a business and economics journalist he was a regular commentator on CNN’s Your Money and a frequent contributor to Good Morning America, Oprah!, NY1, and CBS This Morning. Before joining ESPN, Belsky was a writer at Money magazine and a reporter for Crain’s New York Business and the St. Louis Business Journal. His writing has appeared in numerous publications and websites, including Departures, Gather, New York, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Time.

In 1990, Belsky won the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism, the highest honor in the field, for an investigation of Crazy Eddie, the consumer electronics chain behind the largest fraud conspiracy in U.S. stock market history.

A Manhattan resident, Belsky serves on the board of directors of Urban Pathways, one of New York's most-innovative providers of homeless services; and the New York Neo-Futurists, an award-winning experimental theater company.
