      Brian Solis

      World-Renowned Digital Anthropologist, Futurist, and Global Innovation Executive

      Core Intelligence Domain: Innovation & Digital Transformation
      Location: United States | Languages: English
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Brian Solis is a world-renowned digital anthropologist, global futurist, and an award-winning author who evaluates the impact of disruptive technologies on business, markets, and society. As the Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow and the former Global Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, he operates at the vanguard of technological shifts, guiding Fortune 500 organisations through the complexities of digital transformation, Generative AI, and spatial computing.

      With a proprietary focus on what he terms “Digital Darwinism”—the evolution of consumer behaviour when society and technology evolve faster than the ability to adapt—Brian provides C-Suite executives with the strategic foresight required to future-proof their operations. His human-centric frameworks bridge the critical gap between emerging innovations and sustainable corporate growth, ensuring that enterprise architecture is fundamentally aligned with human needs, both for the customer (CX) and the employee (EX).

      Before his tenure at ServiceNow and Salesforce, Brian served as Principal Analyst at Altimeter Group, where he authored seminal research on the future of business. He has spent over two decades researching the intersection of technology, cognitive science, and commercial strategy. His methodologies do not merely react to technological trends; they empower leaders to proactively design an “innovation culture” capable of sustaining long-term market dominance.

      Major Achievements and Proprietary Research

      • Eight-Time Best-Selling Author: His critically acclaimed library includes Lifescale: How to Live a More Creative, Productive, and Happy Life, X: The Experience When Business Meets Design, What’s the Future of Business (WTF), and The End of Business as Usual.
      • Global Executive Advisory: Consistently trusted by leading brands such as Google, Microsoft, L’Oréal, Mastercard, and Cisco to drive transformational shifts in executive mindset and operational design.
      • Pioneering Frameworks: Creator of the Generation Novel (Gen N) demographic concept and the leading architect of the modern Experience Design (XD) movement within corporate environments.
      • Industry Recognition: Frequently named among the top business visionaries and one of the pre-eminent digital analysts of the 21st century by global media outlets including Forbes, Harvard Business Review, ZDNet, and The Wall Street Journal.
      • Digital Innovation Evangelism: Instrumental in mapping the enterprise applications of Generative AI, Web3, and the metaverse to tangible, ROI-driven business models.

      Key Speaking Topics and Strategic Frameworks

      • Digital Darwinism and the AI Era: How organisations can thrive in an era where Artificial Intelligence, automation, and machine learning are fundamentally rewriting the rules of commerce and customer engagement.
      • The Corporate Start-Up: Igniting a culture of continuous innovation, agile thinking, and intrapreneurship within legacy enterprises to compete effectively with digital-native disruptors.
      • Experience as the New Brand (CX & EX): Why designing frictionless, empathetic, and highly personalised experiences for both customers and employees is the ultimate competitive advantage in a post-digital world.
      • Lifescaling and The Mind Shift: Overcoming digital distraction and cognitive overload to foster creativity, wellbeing, and visionary leadership in a hyper-connected workplace.
      • Spatial Computing and the Future Market: Demystifying the next iterations of the internet and preparing executive boards for the integration of immersive technologies and decentralised platforms.

      Key Takeaways

      Brian Solis translates complex technological disruptions into actionable, human-first strategies for global leadership teams. By mapping the trajectory of Generative AI, shifting consumer expectations, and macroeconomic trends, he equips audiences with the foresight to not only survive Digital Darwinism but to lead the next era of business. His insights ensure that organisations remain agile, empathetic, and fiercely competitive, empowering decision-makers to design tomorrow’s enterprise today.

      • “What can you say positively about Brian Solis that hasn't already been said? He's courageous! Allow me to explain. There are few people that I know that at such a high-level continually seek to reinvent themselves and, in so doing, make something better EACH AND EVERY TIME. From fireside chats with the world's most gifted marketing and trendsetters to rethinking what it means to create "Life Scale." Lastly, Brian is simply a good person at his core — we cross paths periodically and don't miss a beat – moreover, he genuinely wants to cultivate learning from everyone. That should be inherent in all people, but when you're talking about a data-driven futurist? It's extraordinary to embrace both his content, wisdom, and friendship. If you have an opportunity to meet and digest his messaging — do so; you'll be smarter for it.”
