      Cecilia MoSze Tham

      Applied Futurist, Deep Tech Pioneer & Strategic Foresight Architect

      Core Intelligence Domain: Innovation & Future Trends
      Location: Barcelona, Spain | Languages: English, Spanish, Catalan
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Cecilia MoSze Tham is a globally recognised applied futurist, deep tech innovator, and the CEO and Co-founder of Futurity Systems, a pioneering studio that provides ‘Futures-as-a-Service’ to corporate and institutional leaders. By bridging the gap between imaginative foresight and tangible technological execution, she empowers C-suite executives to navigate exponential change, construct robust long-term strategies, and actively design sustainable, technologically advanced futures. Her proprietary methodologies transform speculative concepts into actionable business models, positioning her as a vital strategic partner for organisations facing the rapid convergence of artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, and spatial computing.

      Executive Leadership & Technological Innovation

      Throughout her career, Cecilia has operated at the intersection of social sciences, emerging technologies, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Prior to launching Futurity Systems, she served as a Social Technologist at Alpha, Telefonica’s highly secretive moonshot facility. In this capacity, she was responsible for ensuring that radical technological advancements were designed with human-centric and societal benefits at their core.

      She is a formidable force in the European innovation landscape. Cecilia is the founder of Makers of Barcelona (MOB), one of Southern Europe’s largest collaborative co-working communities, and the co-founder of allwomen.tech, an AI training academy specifically designed for women. Furthermore, she brought FabCafe to Barcelona, establishing a crucial hub for digital fabrication and design. Her multifaceted leadership demonstrates a consistent ability to scale innovative concepts into thriving, impactful enterprises.

      Advisory Roles & Global Influence

      Beyond her entrepreneurial ventures, Cecilia is a trusted advisor to major global institutions. She serves on the advisory board of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and has been an active member of the advisory board for the City Council of Barcelona. As an AWS European Ambassador, she champions cloud innovation and deep tech integration across the continent. She is also the Director of the Singularity University Barcelona Chapter, further solidifying her role as a key conduit for exponential technology discourse in Europe.

      Her academic contributions are equally impressive, having served as a visiting scholar and adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design and Parsons Paris, where she developed curricula focused on design thinking, futures prototyping, and sustainable technology.

      Key Takeaways

      When booking Cecilia MoSze Tham, organisations secure far more than a visionary keynote. They gain an applied futurist who dismantles the complexity of emerging deep tech and rebuilds it into actionable, commercial strategies. Her unique ability to fuse speculative design with rigorous technological prototyping ensures that audiences leave not only inspired by what the future holds, but equipped with the frameworks required to build it. Her insights are essential for leadership teams determined to future-proof their enterprises, drive sustainable growth, and lead confidently in the age of exponential convergence.

      • “I would like to enthusiastically recommend Cecilia Tham and her work during her tenure at Alpha. Cecilia was a member of my team for 2 years and performed exceptionally. At Alpha, Cecilia’s work focused on developing Moonshot candidates: projects that would affect 100’s of Millions of people, be a force for good on the planet, and grow into billion dollar businesses. Her responsibility was to generate ideas, and then develop Moonshot candidates by exploring the technology that would make them possible, the business models that would make them viable, and the future scenarios that would make them desirable. Cecilia is a very rare animal. She has an exceptional ability to think creatively—way outside the box. Yet she is also able to ground her creativity to the real challenges of running a business, launching new products, and solving real problems. One of her biggest strengths is coming up to speed surprisingly quickly on very complex topics. As she develops her understanding, she’s able to synthesize new approaches to solving problems. She thinks both laterally, and deeply; she’s a complex systems thinker, and has found a way to apply her ideas directly to the problems she is working on. As a member of a very diverse and high-performing team at Alpha, Cecilia was a great team player. Although she was a senior member of my team and led many of our marquee candidates, she often jumped into supporting roles without hesitation. Her teamwork style mirrors her intellectual capacity: versatile, flexible, fast, comfortable with complexity, and always mission/solution focused. Cecilia is a world class creative thinker and imagineer. She would be a phenomenal addition to any team challenged with solving large, difficult, and complex problems. I recommend Cecilia to any organization that would be lucky enough to have her.”
