      Christian Busch

      Pioneer of the Serendipity Mindset & Global Authority on Purpose-Driven Innovation

      Core Intelligence Domain: Innovation
      Location: New York, USA & London, UK | Languages: English, German
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Christian Busch is a globally recognised authority on innovation, purpose-driven leadership, and the strategic cultivation of serendipity as a core capability for future-ready organisations.

      By transforming the traditional understanding of luck from a blind, uncontrollable force into a measurable and scalable strategic asset, he provides C-suite leaders with proprietary frameworks to navigate uncertainty and unlock hidden opportunities in highly volatile markets.

      Serving as the Director of the CGA Global Economy Programme at New York University (NYU) and a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics (LSE), Dr. Busch sits at the intersection of rigorous academic foresight and pragmatic corporate strategy.

      He is the bestselling author of The Serendipity Mindset: The Art and Science of Creating Good Luck and Connect the Dots, works that have been globally celebrated by top executives for redefining how enterprises approach innovation, resilience, and complex problem-solving in an unpredictable world.

      Beyond his academic and literary contributions, Dr. Busch is an active practitioner and strategist within the global business ecosystem. He is the co-founder of Leaders on Purpose—an organisation that convenes the CEOs of major Fortune 500 companies to seamlessly integrate purpose with commercial profitability—and the Sandbox Network, a premier global community of disruptive young innovators spanning over 20 countries.

      His extensive research has been published in leading academic journals and featured in top-tier global media outlets, including the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and the BBC. He is also a regular contributor to the World Economic Forum.

      Strategic Capabilities & Speaking Themes

      • “Christian is one of the most well connected people I know and is very open about helping connect others to realise potential. Indeed, he immerses himself in the world of entrepreneurship on various levels and after meeting and hearing him speak at multiple conferences it came to be that during the summer he was teaching me on management, entrepreneurship and leadership at the London School of Economics. It was refreshing to see that in addition to the sophisticated academic models he was always ready to give lessons in life and how they could be applied to assembling a great team (one of Christian's expertise) and launching a successful venture. He is able to do this because he carries a TED-style talk into the classroom and can relate business and entrepreneurship to any concept. If you ever need advice or to connect with someone in the entrepreneurial community get in touch with Christian, I recommend him highly.”

      • “Dr Christian Busch spoke at our inaugural Citywire DACH event, and he was well-received by our audience of German, Swiss and Austrian fund selectors. Our delegates responded to his session with comments such as "eye-opening" and "very interesting, factual...we've already invested in some of these ideas". Delivering his presentation with humour and energy in German, I was impressed by the level of engagement from the crowd, with a record number of questions in the interactive Q&A section. His content was extremely well-presented and his slides were visually interesting - lots of images and clear flow charts that enhanced his speech. Dr Busch was a pleasure to work with, and volunteered his time to shoot a promotion video for the event, along with joining our dinner the evening before and sitting with our directors which added value to the booking. We will definitely consider working with him again in the future, and as he also speaks English fluently there is capacity for him to speak before many of our audiences.”
