Gerd Leonhard is a Top 10 Futurist/Keynote Speaker, Author, Advisor, Film-Maker and CEO of The Futures Agency based in Zurich, Switzerland. 

As a student of philosophy, music, culture, and society yet heavily steeped in the world of commerce, business, and technology, Gerd has spent the last 2 decades bringing practical wisdom ‘back from the future’ to help individuals and organizations like Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Visa get a better grip of technological disruption to make better choices, today.

In his latest book ‘Technology vs Humanity’, Gerd explores a wide range of ethical and social questions that urgently need answering before we blindly forego our very humanity in order to ‘transcend our limitations’.
