I help people see around corners with TBD Group (intelligence products, advisory and events). I wrote ‘Disruptive Technologies’ and created TBD Conference from it. I write ‘What Did Amazon/OpenAI Do This Week?, and regularly contribute to ‘Cool Hunting’, The Information and other outlets.
I am a trusted tech expert for the FT, WSJ, BBC, and CNN. I speak on a range of topics for corporates and at conferences. I am a lover of good design, coffee and the GIF.

- TBD Q3 Meetup - 'Hybrid' (Economist, Accenture and a very special live experience)As always you know who's speaking...but not what about! That's the joy of TBD. You come along for a ride. Each speaker is handpicked and each is saying new stuff you haven't seen/heard anywhere else before. We let them off the leash...

- TBD Conference (2018 - Present)Described as 'Like TED...without the bullsh!t', TBD is different to regular conferences. We have a forest for one and we have our own smell too. Technology. Behaviour. Data. is the only conference specifically designed to help you focus, reframe and plan for what the foreseeable future (and a little bit further) brings your way. Around +40 speakers take to the 'intimidatingly surrounded' stage and top journalists are there to keep everyone honest.
- TBD Conference"Like TED...without the bullsh!t" - TBD attendee TBD stands for ‘Technology. Behaviour. Data.’ and is the one-day conference designed to inform, inspire, and challenge the way decisions are made in order to make the best choices possible during a period of unprecedented change and uncertainty. Attendees leave feeling inspired, energised and action-orientated. www.thetbdconference.com

- Back on a real stage againSo good to be on a stage speaking to an audience in-person again. And this hybrid format really works well—lots of audience participation in the room and over WhatsApp. Thank you Paul Armstrong for inviting me to be a part of the amazing TBD community.1
