Jared Weiner Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Jared is Executive Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer of The Future Hunters, one of the world’s leading futurist consulting firms. He looks at emerging global trends – and helps identify the strategic implications (the “So what?”) of those trends for several of the most influential Fortune 500 companies, trade associations and public sector clients. His work is industry-agnostic, and covers trend activity in the realms of science & technology, economics, politics, demographics and environmental issues.

Jared Weiner is Co-Founder + Creator at Wake the Future. Wake the Future is a content and thought leadership platform built to wake people up to the realities of a chaotic future, and to ultimately empower humans in an age of AI. Jared considers himself a “reformed futurist,” inspired to apply his experience and learnings toward a renewed purpose – one that is more authentic to who he is, and what matters most to him personally: his family. Jared has been a futurist and global keynote speaker for nearly two decades. Over that period, he’s served as Partner at The Future Hunters, a futurist consultancy and industry pioneer. Jared has long helped senior leaders prepare for what’s ahead. His speaking has taken him to Colombia, Turkey, Australia, Hong Kong, Morocco, Panama and Poland. Jared is past Chairman of the Board of the World Future Society. And he served on American Express OPEN’s Digital Advisory Board. He holds a B.A. from the University of Rochester (UofR), and an M.B.A. from the Simon Graduate School of Business at the UofR. Jared is a New York City native and will always have big city DNA. But he and his wife (+ business partner) Erica, along with their son, now live near her hometown of Rochester NY, where they first met in college. Jared’s biggest passions are travel and 80s music. He also enjoys hiking, basketball, history, wine and suffering through being a NY sports fan.
“We had Jared lead a 2-day session at our VP Summit. Our goals were to engage our team, get them excited about our future and help them think outside the box. Jared was instrumental in this process. He challenged our thought processes, got us out of our comfort zone, and really educated us on some amazing future-focused ideas.” — Chief People Officer, U.S. Xpress “Equal parts thought-provoking and energizing, Jared delivered a home run session that will help shape our business of tomorrow. I would highly recommend him for leaders looking to challenge norms and spark new conversations and thinking within their organization.” — Managing Director (NY/DC), Zeno Group “Jared spoke to 300 executives at our preeminent B2B publishing event. His session was a prescient overview of major trends shaping dramatic change in the publishing sector, and the need for speed for media leaders to go digital or be left behind. He has an engaging style that is both entertaining and intelligent. He is able to demystify and deconstruct the complexities of markets and behaviors that shape the future with great finesse.” — COO + Editor, The Robin Report “We had the pleasure of having Jared as an opening keynote. Delegates described him as charismatic, compelling, insightful and easy to follow. He left a great impact on everyone, and his ideas were referenced by many participants. The content of his speech was adapted to our audience, and Jared was a great choice to kick off our summit.” — Founder, INNOCOS “Jared is a true futurist and thought leader. He spoke at NetFinance and blew our very senior audience away with the trends they need to be ready for in the future. He was a clear standout and received fantastic feedback from a hard-to-please audience. I’d highly recommend him for any event or company looking to engage demanding consumers.” — NetFinance & eTail Europe Director, WBR “I’ve worked with Jared on many conferences, and he’s my GO-TO speaker for all things future and trends. His ability to paint an actionable vision of the future is unparalleled and he delivers unique and immediate value to very discerning audiences. His stage presence, energy and ability to customize content have taken our events to the next level.” — Conference Director, IIR
