- he shares this insight through sophisticated trends research reports that cover near-term (1 to 6 months), medium (6-24 months), and long-term trends (> 2 years), and weaves the insight into his stage presentations, combined with up to the minute deep research performed undertaken for every customized keynote
The fact is experience and a proven track record matter.

- most of his events have been for senior executive leadership teams at corporate offsite retreats
- many of the topics covered have been related to fast-emerging disruptive trends that require immediate team coordination
- oh, and he’s a geek. He’s been online since 1982 and wrote 34 books about the Internet in the ’90s. He runs his own Linux servers, is deeply involved in IoT technology, and writes code and hacks things. So he doesn’t just understand stuff at a leadership and strategy level – he gets it at a deep technological level.
