In 2009, Isaac published the article “Liberating Leadership” in the California Management Review, introducing the groundbreaking concept of the liberated company. The article received the Syntec Annual Award for Best Academic Paper. The same year, he co-authored Freedom, Inc. with Brian Carney, which won the DCF Best Business Book Award in France and has been published in 15 countries.

In 2016, Isaac authored La liberté, ça marche!, a finalist for the same DCF Annual Book Award in France. The following year, he published L’entreprise libérée, honoured with the Rotary Award for Best Business Book. He continued his collaborative work in 2018, co-authoring Leadership Without Ego with Bob Davids and Brian Carney, translated into French and Spanish.

In 2019, Isaac partnered with Laurent Marbacher to write L’Entreprise altruiste, exploring organisations that thrive by unconditionally serving the members of their business ecosystems. In 2025, they expanded on this theme with the publication of The Caring Company: How to Shift Business and the Economy for Good through Wiley—a book that garnered international media acclaim. It has been shortlisted by Thinkers50 for the Beakthrough Idea  Award.

Regarding his philosophy of the liberated company, he recently co-authored, with Gilles Arnaud, “The Liberated Company: A Theoretical Concept” in the Journal of Organization Design, offering an in-depth examination of the research developments since the concept’s initial introduction.

Originally trained in Computer Science, he later earned an M.Sc. in Management Science, a Doctorate in Psychology, and a post-doctoral qualification (HDR) in Management.
