Gibson, Rowan
Global business strategist and bestselling author
Travels from: Dusseldorf, Germany
Rowan Gibson is a global business strategist, a bestselling author and an expert on radical innovation. The media have labeled him "a guru among the gurus". His last book Rethinking The Future (Nicholas Brealey Publishing) is an international best-seller, published in 23 language editions. In it, he argues that linear thinking is useless in a non-linear world – a world where conventional business models, processes and paradigms are increasingly being rendered obsolete.

His big-picture insights, compelling observations and fresh business thinking have impressed a wide range of audiences across Europe, the USA and Asia. Rowan mixes insight, inspiration and information in a way that always leaves an audience feeling energized.

He has also shared the stage with a host of well-known speakers like Neil Armstrong, Ken Blanchard, Deepak Chopra, Bill Clinton, Jim Collins, Newt Gingrich, Guy Kawasaki, Bertrand Piccard, Jonas Ridderstråle, Alvin Toffler, and Fons Trompenaars.
