Tom Glocer becomes a Big Thinker

Big Think describes itself as “an online content innovator leveraging multimedia tools to deliver smarter, faster, actionable learning for companies and individuals”. It said Glocer’s investment “is a landmark endorsement from a widely admired corporate influencer and expert in content creation”.

Glocer, 52, said: “Big Think transforms individual and corporate learning with its actionable content centred on the key topics necessary for success in the knowledge economy. I intend to play an active part in its continued success.”

Big Think did not disclose the size of Glocer’s financial commitment. His Thomson Reuters severance package amounted to $19.9 million. He is also a director of healthcare group Merck and a member of the World Economic Forum’s International Business Council. ■
