Global Futurist; Supply Chain, AI & Intelligent Operations Transformation Expert; Strategic Advisor on Leadership, Sustainability & the Future of Work
James Lisica Biography
James Lisica is a world-leading futurist, supply chain strategist, and keynote speaker who helps global leaders navigate the challenges of AI, operational complexity, global disruption and sustainable business growth.
Unlike many speakers in this space, Lisica is not a vendor selling a solution or a high-level academic speaking from a distance. His perspective is forged from 30 years of operational and strategic experience within the world’s most complex supply chains, complemented by a decade-long tenure as a research director at Gartner. This unique combination of frontline operator grit and high-level analytical rigor allows him to connect futurist insight with practical commercial understanding.
Having delivered over 300 presentations and led thousands of executive strategy sessions, he translates complex trends into clear, urgent and actionable frameworks. Audiences walk away with more than inspiration, they gain sharper thinking and a stronger sense of what comes next and how to respond.
For organizations seeking a speaker who can challenge thinking, energize audiences, and deliver immediate relevance, Lisica offers a world-class keynote experience that is intelligent, credible, and memorable.
