Carla Buzasi Biography

Carla Buzasi is a leading figure in global trend forecasting, serving as president and CEO of WGSN, a trend intelligence company. After 15 years as an editor and journalist, Buzasi transitioned into trend forecasting, progressing through roles as global chief content officer and managing director before becoming CEO at WGSN. In this capacity, she leads a global team of specialists, delivering insight, data analysis, and consultancy services to brands worldwide. Following WGSN's acquisition by Apax Partners, the company expanded its offerings into new industries and sectors, including the acquisition of global beverage and alcohol data business IWSR.

Before her move into trend forecasting, Buzasi built a career in journalism and digital media. She was the founding editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post UK, overseeing its growth to 8 million UK users and 24.4 million global unique users per month, and attracting more than 10,000 bloggers. Buzasi also held editorial roles at Marie Claire, Glamour, and Vogue.com, and contributed to The Guardian, Metro, and other newspapers and magazines.

Buzasi's editorial work has been recognized across the media industry. She was named Editor of the Year at the Online Media Awards for two consecutive years and Media Innovator of the Year at the British Media Awards. She has appeared in Management Today's annual 35 Under 35 list and The Drum's Top 50 Female Innovators. Buzasi has served on the advisory board for Telegraph Media Group and as an advisor for Copenhagen Fashion Week.

As a commentator and public speaker, Buzasi addresses topics including consumer behavior, business strategy, and cultural trends. She has appeared on Channel 4's "What Britain Buys," BBC Radio 4's "Today" program, Lorraine, Sky News, The Andrew Marr Show, and Newsnight. Buzasi is a regular keynote speaker at events such as SXSW, Cannes Lions, and Web Summit, and hosts the podcast "Lives of Tomorrow."

Central to Buzasi's work is WGSN's annual report, "Future Consumer," which explores consumer profiles and the factors shaping the macroeconomic, political, social, and technological landscape. Her expertise connects data and culture across technology, marketing, design, retail, and business strategy. The New York Observer has described Buzasi as an expert in predicting how people will live and shop, highlighting her combination of editorial instinct, data fluency, and global perspective in the fields of trend forecasting and consumer insights.
