Arnon Mishkin

Senior Partner

Over a thirty-year consulting career, Arnon Mishkin has developed tools used in business and politics to help corporations on a range of strategic, marketing, and human resource choices. Formerly a partner of The Boston Consulting Group and Mitchell Madison Group, he currently works independently advising clients on issues of strategy, marketing and targeting. In politics, he leads the Fox News election night team that uses data models and new polling tools to decide which candidates are winning their elections.

Following the 2016 election, he led a joint Fox/AP effort to create the first alternative to the twenty-five-year-old network “Exit Poll,” and design a new way to conduct election day polling and estimate voter behavior and attitudes. Conducted by NORC for Fox, the Associated Press, and several other media outlets, it has proved itself both more accurate and more complete than Exit Polls, particularly with the growth of early and mail-in voting in the US, and the impact of COVID in 2020.

Mishkin’s market research and business experience can help companies develop tools to better target, recruit, and retain employees and ensure an effective internal culture.

Mishkin earned a BA (Mathematics) from Yale University and an MBA, with distinction, from Harvard Business School.
