Gil Ahrens is a business advisor and former investment banker. He also writes books. His latest, The Unwritten Playbook, offers a whimsical perspective on the weighty challenge of navigating in a complex world where noise competes with nonsense.

His uncles Friedrich Werner Count von der Schulenburg (German ambassador to the USSR) and Fritz-Dietlof Count von der Schulenburg were among the high-ranking German officers who were executed by hanging for their central roles in the July 20, 1944 assassination plot against Adolf Hitler. His grandfather Maximilian Count von der Schulenburg was executed somewhere in Poland. His body was never discovered.

He was born in Suffield, Connecticut and holds degrees from New York University and Boston University and studied at the New England Conservatory of Music.

His "Whether Vein" newsletter occasionally shows up on Substack as GilAhrens.
