## Bio

Michael Eugene Porter was born May 23, 1947, and built his career at Harvard Business School, where he developed the analytical tools that would define modern strategic management. His five forces analysis became the field's core framework, splitting competitive dynamics into supplier power, buyer power, rivalry, substitutes, and entry barriers — a lens that stuck in both classrooms and boardrooms. He co-founded The Monitor Group, a consulting firm later absorbed by Deloitte, and FSG, focused on social impact. Governments, universities, and NGOs have recognized his work. He is widely considered the father of the modern strategy field and remains one of the most influential voices on management and competitiveness.
