AI is rewriting the rules of business, power, and survival — faster than most leaders can grasp. AI is moving at lightning speed, creating a discontinuity as profound as the Industrial Revolution. Superintelligence is around the corner – it can both create and destroy immense value.

Drawing on 30+ years of founding breakthrough companies and my current advisory work with large & small companies and private equity clients, I explore the personal, economic, and geopolitical implications of superintelligence. This keynote equips leaders to identify opportunity windows, avoid risks, and build resilient and innovative strategies in a time of accelerating change.
