Gerd Leonhard is a leading Public Thinker, Futurist and Keynote Speaker, Author, Film-Maker, and the CEO of The Futures Agency based in Zurich, Switzerland. His motto is People, Planet, Purpose, Peace and Prosperity.
As a student of philosophy, music and society yet steeped in the world of commerce, business, and technology, Gerd has spent the last 2 decades bringing practical wisdom ‘back from the future’ to help individuals, organizations, enterprises and governments around the world get a better grip of technological disruption and to make better choices, today.
