Chloe Combi is one of the world’s foremost experts on Generation Z and Generation A – writing the first book on them: Generation Z: Their Voices, Their Lives. She has now interviewed over 20,000 members of the youngest generations, spawning a critically lauded, Apple #1 podcast on teenage lives, You Don’t Know Me, the SXSW-runner up Meta series exploring teenage mental health, Weird Times and hundreds of pieces of research and reports for global brands, governments, and organisations. Chloe has worked on an American presidential campaign, spoken in over 50 countries, writes regularly for publications and regularly appears on TV and radio discussing her work.
What differentiates Chloe’s work as a ‘generational expert’ is her hands-on approach: she speaks in hundreds of schools and has many long-term projects with schools, focussing on mental health, sex, identity, gender relationships, social media and the digital world, voice, critical-thinking and well-being. She co-founded The Respect Project in response to many challenges facing today’s young people and her work is in real demand. She has been called a “powerhouse” and a “gamechanger” in her understanding of what is going on in modern young people’s lives and how to help them. She is often called a ‘futurist’ and would like to point out this simply means she studies the future via younger generations!
Chloe is currently working on her debut fiction novel and her next non-fiction which is going to help the world prepare for 2030!
Despite the fact the kids always tell her they are now hopelessly uncool and patriarchal, Chloe still loves and frequently wears heels, but did recently buy her first pair of Converse. She still prefers her heels, though.
