A little bit about Aaron…
Aaron Stark is the author of the book "Disrupting Time: Industrial combat, espionage, and the downfall of a great American company." Before entering business, he was an assistant professor of economics at West Point, with a specialization in finance. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School with a focus on finance and business strategy, and a BS in Economics from West Point. He is a veteran of the US Army with two combat tours in Afghanistan, serving as an Apache helicopter pilot.
Excerpt from the book:
"I sped through quickly and incognito and saw the poor arrangements I already knew about….I did not really have time to have a good look around nor to ask questions, but we have inside sources and we shall soon have the information we want" wrote Swiss spy Jacques David in 1876 while visiting America in 1876. Author Aaron Stark tells the recently uncovered story of two Swiss spies who were dispatched to acquire the secrets of America's technology sector of the late-19th century - the mechanized production of watches. Aaron's book, "Disrupting Time," covers the dangers of industrial espionage, insider threats, business strategy, and consequences for companies and entire industries through a non-fiction historical narrative. Hodinkee's former editor-in-chief Jack Forster wrote about the book: "Aaron Stark pulls back the curtain on perhaps the single most important case of industrial spying in the history of watchmaking – and one whose full details, incredibly, weren’t fully known until just last year."
