Michael Hochberg is the President of Periplous LLC, which provides advisory services on strategy, technology, policy, and organization design. Hochberg has been a physicist, an engineer, a professor, a startup founder, an executive at startup companies, an executive at a large multinational, and a freelance advisor and board member. He is fluent in the languages of technology, geopolitics, policy, business, and strategy, and is particularly interested in the areas where these different fields intersect.

Leveraging his experiences in the spheres of business strategy, academia, and commerce, Hochberg now devotes his attention to geopolitics, foreign relations, grand strategy, economic statecraft and technology policy. His predictive piece in The Hill, “Could the US fight a four-front war? Not today”, predicted the current dilemma faced by the US and its allies in fighting a multifront war. His recent work on atrocity as a strategy of warfare in Gaza was later confirmed by the comments by Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, as published in The Wall Street Journal. He has published on geopolitics, national security, and grand strategy in various outlets including National Review Online, The Hill, RealClearDefense, Fast Company, American Spectator, and Naval War College Review. Hochberg’s writing efforts are currently targeted to his upcoming book devoted to applied geopolitics.
