He is among those who have shaped how we think about innovation today. As Google’s first Chief Innovation Evangelist, he helped build an environment where ideas don’t just emerge, but actually come to life. He spent more than a decade at Stanford University as a lecturer and researcher, and today works with organizations around the world – from the United Nations and NASA to global companies.
He describes himself as a “future optimist.” Not because he sees the future as something automatically bright, but because he doesn’t see it as something to wait for. In his view, it starts much closer – in how people think, make decisions, and whether they are willing to try new things.
He is the author of the book What’s Next Is Now and focuses on the idea that change doesn’t begin with technology, but with the mindset of the people using it
