In 2011 Ari spoke at the annual Auburn Rudin lecture at WNYC on the impact the Internet is having on societies mental maps and structural models in regards to the future of faith and spirituality. He has been written about in numerous publications including The ''San Francisco Chronicle'', ''Fast Company'', ''The New York Times'', and ''The Guardian''.

Ari is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Columbia University lecturing on innovation and the future of governance and public policy. In November 2015, Fast Company magazine launched Fast Company Futures with Ari Wallach, a "new initiative that will shape the ways we address the biggest challenges facing our rapidly changing world. We will explore emergent business models, solutions, and opportunities by bringing together the most innovative people and ideas from business, technology, policy, and culture." ==Early life== Ari was born in Guadalajara, Mexico where his father, a Polish Holocaust survivor and member of the Jewish underground in World War II, established a successful industrial infrastructure business after an 11 year stint in Cuba pre and post-revolution. Eventually, the family moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where Ari was raised. Ari’s mother is a Bay Area artist who most recently was included in a Marc Chagall retrospective. Regarding the passing of Ari’s father in 1993, Sen. Harry Reid declared “Recently our Nation lost a national treasure… His family's loss was ours. There is one fewer just man to stand and tell the truth. One fewer just man to bear witness. We who are living must remember him and what by living he taught us. We must, we shall, never forget.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ari Wallach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
