Jonathan Brill is the AI business futurist you need to win the next five years.
Meet Jonathan
As an explorer, inventor and truth-seeker, I work with Fortune 50 companies, governments, and global organizations to channel the forces shaping the next five years into decisive action. In my roles as a business futurist and Executive Chairman of the Center for Radical Change, I’m able to uncover the patterns others miss and report on what is coming – in vivid and raw detail – to give you the clarity and confidence to act.
My keynotes and workshops don’t just forecast the future—they bring audiences in – feeling the stakes together. Stories from the frontlines of disruption, sharp systems insight, and kinetic storytelling transforms abstract change into concrete, actionable strategy. Audiences don’t just leave informed—they are equipped, emboldened, and ready to turn what’s coming into competitive advantage.
Having worked with organizations including Toyota, Emerson, and Vertiv, I understand the challenges manufacturers face as AI-powered operations, automation, supply chain resilience, and workforce transformation reshape the industry. I help leaders identify the strategic choices that build more resilient, productive, and competitive organizations.
We don’t know what we don’t know. AI is coming, and we need to prepare ourselves and our organizations to be ready.
