Conor Sen
Conor Sen is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist and founder of Peachtree Creek Investments, an Atlanta-based money management firm. He built a national following by reading the economy through housing, demographics and the slow grind of millennials moving through their life stages, and turned a habit of arguing with strangers on Twitter into one of the most-cited macro voices in financial media. His tagline, 'The future is a policy choice,' doubles as his worldview.
