      Dietmar Dahmen: Global Visionary Futurist and Architect of Digital Disruption

      Core Intelligence Domain: Innovation & Digital Disruption
      Location: Vienna, Austria | Languages: English, German
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Dietmar Dahmen is a globally renowned futurist, strategic innovator, and dynamic catalyst for corporate transformation, wielding decades of C-Suite advertising and digital strategy experience to decode the future of business. With a proprietary approach to systemic disruption, Dahmen empowers global enterprises to dismantle legacy thinking, harness emerging technologies, and aggressively reposition themselves for market dominance. His methodology bridges the gap between visionary foresight and actionable corporate strategy, making him an indispensable advisor to boards navigating the complexities of Artificial Intelligence, digital ecosystems, and hyper-accelerated market shifts.

      Before establishing his independent consultancy and becoming one of Europe’s most electrifying keynote speakers, Dahmen built an unassailable reputation at the pinnacle of the global advertising industry. He served in instrumental leadership roles, including Chief Creative Officer (CCO) and Managing Director at DDB, Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy, and CCO at BBDO. This profound agency background provides him with unparalleled insights into consumer psychology, brand architecture, and the mechanics of large-scale market persuasion. Today, he channels this expertise into ‘Business BÄM!’, his signature framework for injecting explosive growth and radical innovation into stagnant business models.

      As a founding partner of the transformation consultancy Dietmar Dahmen & Co. and a strategic advisor to multiple European tech initiatives, Dahmen operates at the bleeding edge of global business intelligence. He holds the position of Chief Innovation Officer with several leading tech companies and actively serves on the advisory boards of pioneering startups and established multi-national corporations. His strategic foresight enables leaders to proactively catalyse change rather than react defensively to industry disruption.

      • "Thank you so much for your support on Thursday – we’ve already received some really positive feedback regarding the evening, but your ‘show’ was everything and more than we expected. I’ll forward any feedback we receive about you from our guests but we were thoroughly entertained with your energy, and was incredibly interesting, current, and thought provoking. I personally felt mentally poked in the all the right places! 😝😃 No complaints what-so-ever from our team either. Danny thought you were excellent and on-point, and Richard (our chairman) and his wife thought you were the best speaker we’ve had for a long, long time - You ticked all the right boxes from our point of view, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with you again. And of course – please do share the event through your ‘socials’ .Thanks again for being a pleasure to work with Dietmar, and thank you Jonathan for setting this up. We’re really happy with everything, and the guests had a fantastic time."
