The Business Futurist™
I’ve been called many things:
- AI Inventor
- Keynote Speaker
- Fortune 50 Executive
- Best Selling Author
At my core, I’m a practical futurist. I grew up on the factory floor of my family’s manufacturing firm.
I have worked with industrial and professional associations in a range of industries, ranging from financial regulators like CSBS to manufacturers like MSCI to services associations like PSNI and many healthcare groups.
From AI to geopolitics to demographics, I open your audience to the broad social, economic and technological trends we face today and leave them empowered with actionable tools.
As the global futurist at HP, I directed long-term strategy and technology vision. I’m also an advisor to the CEO at Frost & Sullivan, one of the largest global private manufacturing technology intelligence agencies. While serving as the Senior Fellow at the HBR China New Growth Institute, I’ve gained a deep awareness of East Asian markets. These roles led me to author the international bestseller, Rogue Waves: Future-Proof Your Business to Survive and Profit from Radical Change (McGraw-Hill).
I could easily be considered a visionary in strategic foresight and technology innovation.
But I’d rather teach you how to do the same.
As a futurist and keynote speaker, I’ll not only outline how your audience can navigate change; I’ll take them on a journey into the intricate science of engineering solutions, managing change, and creating dynamic growth strategies that leverage disruption.
With each speaking engagement, I dive deep into the unique challenges facing your audience and present a path to growth.
Simply put, I’ll enable you to find certainty in uncertain times, leaving you with the tools you need to reshape your future without allowing it to reshape your mission.

The Top 5 Trends Driving Associations
The shifting global order is disrupting markets and production. It’s also changing regulation and industrial policy around your industry. If you understand what is means for you, you can lobby, develop a superior supply chain and go to market strategy.
Structural labor shortages and automation are colliding. Now, industry leaders must choose when and where to embrace these setbacks and challenges and how to transform them into a competitive edge.
Regions that face labor shortages will suffer from labor inflation. Facing slowing economic growth, smaller countries, may lean into this inflation to manage their debt. By understanding how these factors change supply and demand, you can innovate effectively for future needs instead of past conditions.
Rising global competition and easier copying are increasing innovation. At the same time, they are making it harder to profit from. Manufacturers face a choice: either invest in advanced technology that’s hard to copy or outsource innovation, which might lead to less uniqueness. Brill shows you how to better balance value creation and value capture.
Data sharing has the potential to improve supply chain efficiency, but it’s often resisted because it can weaken competitive edges. Knowing where to share and when to protect your data can help you secure a strong niche by leveraging or enhancing others’ contributions.
