Bradley Schurman Biography

Bradley Schurman is one of the world’s most compelling voices on demographic change — a strategist, author, and futurist who has spent his career decoding the forces quietly reshaping economies, communities, and daily lives.

As Founder and CEO of Human Change, he equips corporate executives, investors, and policymakers with the strategic foresight to turn demographic disruption into durable competitive advantage. He co-created the Geography of Prosperity Index, a first-of-its-kind framework evaluating 250 U.S. metro areas across five interconnected systems: Population Renewal, Climate Resilience, Automation Readiness, Social Cohesion, and Governance and Foresight.

He is the author of "The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny" (HarperCollins) and the forthcoming "The Geography of Prosperity: A New Map of the American Dream" (MIT Press), and co-creator of the Geography of Prosperity Index.

Previously, as Director of Global Partnerships at AARP, Schurman was instrumental in placing aging and longevity on the agendas of the OECD and World Economic Forum, and led the creation of the landmark Aging Readiness and Competitiveness Report.

Schurman holds undergraduate and master’s degrees from the School of Public Affairs at American University.

Bradley Schurman Speaking Topics

  • The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny

    The world is aging — and faster than most leaders realize. Bradley reveals how the Super Age (when 20%+ of a nation’s population is over 65) is already reshaping workforces, consumer markets, capital flows, and competitive strategy. This is not a story of decline: it’s a roadmap for organizations ready to lead in a longevity economy.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • How demographic shifts are rewriting the rules of talent, marketing, and product design
    • Why the longevity economy is the largest untapped market opportunity of our era
    • Practical strategies for building age-inclusive organizations that outperform

  • The Geography of Prosperity: A New Map of Competitive Advantage

    Most executives’ geographic intuitions are badly miscalibrated. Drawing on the Geography of Prosperity Index — which evaluates 250 U.S. metros across five interconnected systems — Bradley reveals why familiar “winner” cities like Miami rank 109th, why Frederick, Maryland cracks the top ten, and why the retirement havens of Florida cluster near the bottom. Geography is no longer a backdrop for strategy. It is strategy.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • How demographic scarcity, climate volatility, and AI disruption interact to reshape place-based risk
    • Why location strategy must be treated as a portfolio decision, not a single headquarters choice
    • A new framework for evaluating where to invest capital, build talent pipelines, and locate operations
