About Stoic Strategy
Welcome to "Stoic Strategy". This newsletter explores where ancient Stoic philosophy meets modern strategy. If you're a strategist, leader, or simply someone fascinated by the art of making wise choices, you're in the right place.
Who Am I?
I'm Felipe Bovolon, a strategy consultant with over 20 years of experience. I've worked for top-tier consultancies and as a freelancer with organizations of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500s, helping them navigate complex strategic challenges.
But my journey has been about more than business strategy. In the past few years, I've become deeply interested in Stoicism. Thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca practiced this ancient philosophy of life.
Why Stoic Strategy?
As I explored Stoicism, I began to see powerful connections with my work in strategy. The Stoics emphasized wisdom, resilience, and virtuous action. These ideas resonated with my challenges as a strategist and leader.
I realized that Stoicism wasn't just a relic of history. It was a guide for making good choices amid uncertainty and complexity. That's also the heart of strategic work.
"Stoic Strategy" is my attempt to bridge these two worlds. It's a space to explore how Stoic principles can inform and enhance our approach to strategy, leadership, and life.
