Nick Jankel

Nick is a sought-after, highly experienced, and powerful keynote speaker at the very top of his game. With almost 30 years of experience on the frontlines of disruption, he is a world authority on leading and unleashing meaningful change, innovation, and transformation to adapt to the increasingly volatile, uncertain, and complex world. A seasoned professional futurist, he explores how to shape the Future of Work, Leadership, Business, and Healthcare.

Nick delivers electrifying, energising and hyper-engaging “Wow!” keynotes for informed and discerning companies, conferences, institutions, associations, and nations—think Nike, LEGO, Unilever, HP, Neom, Pfizer, Google, and No.10 Downing Street. His surprisingly unique keynotes – exquisitely customised to fit your brief and packed with original science-backed ideas, actionable Ah-HA! insights, and real-world examples – captivate hearts, dazzle even the smartest minds, and ignite concrete change. Nick’s talks can include takeaway tools and practical hacks that turn inspiration into action.

A Cambridge-educated medical scientist and philosopher (Triple 1st/summa cum laude), Nick has spent three decades cracking the code of change while serving the growth of ambitious organisations like Virgin, PlayStation, and Novartis and walking the talk as a 10x purpose-driven entrepreneur.

Nick is markedly different from other speakers. His thinking and tools have been utilised to coach and train over 100,000 leaders in Fortune 500s and he has designed and led 100+ breakthrough innovation programs for multinationals. He is a seasoned expert futurist with over 50 foresight projects under his belt, and he has founded 10 pathfinding and pioneering start- ups in the fields of change, leadership, empowerment, and transformation.

Few speakers in the world have the depth and breadth of experience Nick has, both as a keynote speaker and as a transformation catalyst who has worked with so many people in such a wide variety of organisations and cultures to help them do the hardest things in business: to innovate, transform, and forge the future of their industry.

Nick is profoundly passionate about sharing the fruits of a lifetime’s research, expertise, and coal-face experience, helping organisations and leaders lead the change they want to see. He leaves audiences not just motivated, inspired, informed, and energised but tangibly moved to do things differently – as well as empowered with practical ways to start the change today.
