Harry Moser is the founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative, a nonprofit organization that focuses on how to restore U.S. manufacturing, strengthen employment and reduce the budget deficit. Mr. Moser developed the Total Cost of Ownership Estimator(TM), a tool that companies can use to determine whether or not reshoring makes more sense than offshoring. Current statistics indicate that 25% of companies would do better to bring their production back to the US.
Career highlights include speaking at President Obama's 1/11/12 Insourcing Forum, testifying at a 3/28/12 Congressional hearing and winning a debate on onshoring and offshoring in The Economist.

He makes about 100 presentations per year and has appeared in and been quoted widely in the media including: WSJ, USAToday, NPR, CBS, C-SPAN,  Fortune, Business Week, Forbes, Fox Business and The Atlantic.
