Join us for an exclusive event at the famous Strand BookStore as we celebrate previous Fortune Editor and new author, Polina Marinova Pompliano, and her new book: “Hidden Genius.”

Each quarter, Avenue Z and Bevel host an invite-only book club-style author panel with leading experts in key industries. Since launching in April 2020 at the height of the pandemic, ‘Bevel, Books & Bourbon’, has attracted over 2,500 CEOs, founders and entrepreneurs across industries. Bevel’s books are carefully curated from recommendations of leading VC investors and startup founders. The book club series aims to open up engaging conversations around the most interesting people, ideas, and companies.

This quarter, we’re hosting previous editor at Fortune Magazine and author of The Profile, Polina Marinova Pompliano, who has studied thousands of the most successful and interesting people in the world. In her new book “Hidden Genius, The Secret Ways of Thinking that Power the World’s Most Successful People.” she examines how they reason their way through problems, unleash their creativity, and perform under extreme pressure.

Polina has interviewed some the industry’s most influential dealmakers, including Melinda Gates, Richard Branson, Steve Schwarzman, Alexis Ohanian, and more, and this time, the tables have turned. In this event, Polina will be interviewed by journalist and senior writer at Fortune, Emma Hinchliffe, also the author of Broadsheet, Fortune’s popular daily newsletter covering powerful women leaders in business and the stories driving the news cycle through a gender lens.

Seats are limited, RSVP is required. Bevel, books and bourbon are provided – join us in The Strand Bookstore’s Rare Books Room.
