Andreas Ekström is a multi-award-winning Swedish journalist, bestselling author, and internationally acclaimed thought leader on the digital revolution, renowned for his profound insights into how technology reshapes society, business, and human behaviour. As a highly sought-after strategic advisor and keynote speaker, he provides C-suite executives and global organisations with the proprietary foresight required to navigate the complex intersection of digital innovation and human ethics.

Throughout his distinguished career as a senior columnist and staff writer at the prominent Swedish daily newspaper Sydsvenskan, Ekström has rigorously investigated the socio-economic impacts of the digital world. His groundbreaking, bestselling book The Google Code cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s premier analysts of global tech giants. In this extensive investigative work, he explored the profound global influence of search engines and the philosophical implications of algorithmic supremacy.

Ekström is particularly celebrated for his globally recognised TED talk, “The moral bias behind your search results,” which has captivated over a million viewers worldwide. He challenges business leaders to move beyond mere digitalisation, advocating instead for what he terms “Organic Intelligence”—the indispensable human capability, morality, and strategic nuance that must guide Artificial Intelligence. By dissecting the strategies of major technology conglomerates in his later works, such as Seven Ways to Own the World, Ekström equips audiences with the critical tools necessary to safeguard digital equality and corporate responsibility.
