Jonathan Brill

Jonathan Brill is the Business Futurist who will help you win the next five years. He empowers audiences and executives to spot, prioritize, and invent What Happens Next™.

In his presentations, he lays out:

• Why your future is changing — How social, technological, economic, and geopolitical trends are colliding to reshape your options.
• What you can do about it — Proven ways to get two steps ahead.
• How to take meaningful action — The small changes you can make today, this year, and beyond to leverage knowable disruption.

As the Futurist in Residence at Amazon, ranked the #1 Futurist in the World by Forbes and called “the world’s leading transformation architect” by Harvard Business Review, Jonathan draws on his unique experiences as an inventor and intelligence executive. He served as the Global Futurist at HP and as Lab Chief of invention firms in technology, food, and real estate. His companies have created more than 325 products, generating over $27 billion for clients. He is also a board member of one of the world’s largest private intelligence agencies and the only Western Senior Fellow at the HBR China New Growth Institute.

His most recent book, AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Superintelligent Firm, explains how organizations that distribute authority, embed AI intelligence at the edges, and reward rapid learning and adaptation will become the undisputed leaders of tomorrow.

His book, Rogue Waves, offers a provocative perspective on how the collision of technological, geopolitical, economic, and societal trends will dramatically transform countries, cultures, and industries. Praised by The Economist and Adam Grant, the book provides a pragmatic framework to help business leaders thrive amid radical change and invent their own futures.

Jonathan shares his insights on global stages, in boardrooms, and across leading media outlets including ABC, CNBC, Harvard Business Review, and TED, as well as at research institutions such as Harvard, Duke, CERN, and Stanford. He has transformed these insights into strategic growth programs for clients including Verizon, Samsung, and HP.
