My first book ‘The Post-Truth Business’’ went to No1 in the ‘Business Bestseller’ charts (it’s being updated for 2025) whilst my second book ‘Influencers & Revolutionaries’ was shortlisted for the ‘Business Book of the Year’ Awards. My podcast ‘The New Abnormal’ has over 200,000 downloads. I’ve given ‘Now / Next / Why’ speeches at events from L.A. to Tokyo & Helsinki to Melbourne, and have lectured at universities & business schools for over a decade.

I’m the UK Assoc Partner for the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, an NGO renowned for ‘applied thought-leadership’ re: scenario planning, risk analysis, innovation & strategic foresight. Specific areas of expertise inc Anticipatory Leadership, Urban Futures, Arts & Culture, Economy & Geopolitics, Environment & Resources, Health, Media & Entertainment, Attitudes & Behaviour, and Future of Work.

Re: my background, I co-founded The Future Laboratory then left to launch the independent consultancy Brand Positive, and have conducted research across a wide range of sectors in the UK/EU, MENA, Asia, Russia & US for both agency and brand-owner clients. Essentially, I see curiosity as a competitive advantage and aim to illuminate dynamic challenges facing organisations, regarding ‘problems to solve’.
