Lee Bressler
CEO, Spring Close Advisors
Lee Bressler lives at the intersection of technology, strategy, and storytelling. In his day job, he is the Chief Operating Officer of PremiseAI, a revolutionary science company building AI models with a novel architecture. His typical day is a mix of focusing on company operations, fundraising, meeting with customers, and translating all of this into a clear narrative. Lee also writes essays and research pieces, and is an occasional stand-up comedian. 2026 will be his sixth World Economic Forum, and he has given talks on subjects ranging from investment banking to Ozempic to demographic collapse. Outside of work, Lee is a committed distance runner and a member of Central Park Track Club. He has run six marathons and does much of his best thinking on cold early-morning runs. He is a lifelong New Yorker who loves to travel and see the world, and he brings that curiosity to the way he thinks, writes, and works.
