Jonathan Brill

Ranked #1 futurist in the world by Forbes, Futurist in Residence at Amazon, and called “the world’s leading transformation architect” by Harvard Business Review, Jonathan Brill helps audiences and executives take advantage of the collision of AI, geopolitical, economic, and societal trends to transform their businesses, mindsets, and turn ideas into action to win the next five years.

As a strategic advisor, inventor, intelligence executive, bestselling author, and renowned keynote speaker, Brill draws on his unique experiences as Head of Invention at DeepInvent, Executive Chairman of the Center for Radical Change, and former Global Futurist and Research Director at HP to guide multinational corporations, frontier tech firms, and governments. Tapping into decades of business innovation and AI expertise across transportation, food, consumer electronics, cybersecurity, finance, and defense, he has become the go-to advisor for executives who want to move beyond prediction to transformation.

Brill has created a proven methodology for embracing organizational transformation in the AI age. His approach drives a cultural shift—from hierarchy to network, from rigidity to fluidity, from product-centric to data-driven. 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.

He shares his insights on global stages, in boardrooms, and through leading media platforms such as ABC, CNBC, CNN, and Forbes. His talks have been featured at SXSW, TED, Harvard, and Stanford, and his client list includes Amgen, SAP, Singularity University, JP Morgan, and Microsoft, KPMG and Troutman Pepper Locke.
