Max has run a think tank founded by a British member of Parliament since 2014 and has served on the boards of other think tanks in London and Brussels. He has put an emphasis on emerging technologies, including organising the Blockchain Summit in the European Parliament in 2016; attendees included the IMF, World Bank, United Nations, OECD and Europol among others, the first of its kind in the world as given many other speeches around the world on AI, blockchain and economics. He recently wrote a book with a UK member of Parliament on the problems caused by central bank policies in recent years and is currently working on four books to be published by Springer Nature (currently ranked as the most elite academic publisher in Europe). 
Max was initially given a scholarship to do a PhD at the London School of Economics in his 20s, but turned this down to set up a microchip company which was featured on BBC World News among other media and whose customers include Facebook, Google, Sony, Oracle, Paypal and Salesforce as well as major hotel chains and airlines. He has lectured on emerging technologies to MBA students, mainly at the University of Bath (the UK University of the Year last year) but also at HEC Paris (ranked by the FT as the best business school in Europe) and other universities. He has been interested in longevity for many years and would like to introduce radical longevity into mainstream policy-making.
