#1 Ranked Futurist in the World by Forbes, Futurist-in-Residence at Amazon (Emeritus), and "the world's leading transformation architect," according to 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 and mindsets, and turn ideas into action to Win the Next Five Years.
As a strategic advisor, inventor, best-selling author, and renowned keynote speaker, Jonathan draws upon his unique experience as Head of Invention at Deepinvent, Executive Chairman at the Center for Radical Change, and former Global Futurist and Research Director at HP to guide multinational corporations, frontier tech firms, and national governments. Tapping into his decades of business innovation and AI expertise, across transportation, food, consumer electronics, cybersecurity, finance, and defense industries, Jonathan has become the go-to strategic advisor for business executives around the world.
Through his hard-earned expertise and insight, he's created a proven methodology for embracing organizational transformation in the AI age.

Jonathan offers audiences specific strategies that will distinguish tomorrow's business leaders from today's laggards.
His new book, AI and the Octopus Organization: Building a Superintelligent Firm, delves into how organizations that distribute authority, embed AI intelligence at the edges, and cultivate a culture that rewards rapid learning and customer-centric adaptation, will become the undisputed leaders of tomorrow.
Jonathan shares his insights on global stages, in boardrooms, with media brands link ABC, CNBC, CNN, Forbes, SXSW, and TED, at institutions like Harvard and Stanford, and with numerous companies including SAP, Singularity University, Amgen, JP Morgan, Microsoft, and Google.
