Nancy Giordano Speaking Fee: $30,000 to $50,000

Described as endlessly optimistic, Nancy is an enterprise strategist, business futurist, and bestselling author with a drive to help enterprise organizations and visionary leaders transform to meet the escalating expectations ahead. Recognized as one of the world’s top female futurists, she has spent her career building, shaping, and evolving a portfolio of over $60 billion worth of major global brands. Invited to give over 100 global keynote talks, and with growing conviction about what will (and needs to) shift, executives value her unique ability to sense and synthesize the terrain ahead. Her expertise and experiences range from artificial intelligence to frozen foods and reinventing the internet. All her projects share a key common denominator: transitioning away from extractive operating systems and outdated business thinking toward creating sustainable, inclusive, and dynamic solutions demanded by the future. With an early career at three of the top global advertising agencies and as founder of her own strategic inspiration company, Play Big Inc., Nancy has a rich history of advising and collaborating with some of the world’s leading companies. In 2015, she helped shape an artificial intelligence start-up and later built a leadership summit designed to encourage C-suite executives to explore seven of the most disruptive emergent technologies for business. Nancy has served on the board of retail trade association GMDC and is currently on the advisory council for Retail Tomorrow, Future Frontiers, and Dollar Donation Club. Nancy partnered with Austin-based artificial intelligence services company Kungfu.AI two years ago. She is also collaborating with Riane Eisler to create a movement around Partnerism, a socio-economic system built on partnership rather than the domination models of Capitalism and Socialism. Additionally, she is advancing two post-blockchain solutions poised to create a more human internet: Holochain and Holo hosting. A 10-year TEDx curator and the world’s first licensee, Nancy is a Singularity University guest lecturer, frequent panelist at South by Southwest (SXSW), creator of the first Career Fair For the Future event for college and high school students, and co-founder of the Femme Futurists Society, a collection of interviews with leading futurists worldwide. Ranked number one on Amazon for both Business Ethics and Organization Strategy, her first book, Leadering: The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger, defines and makes visible the dynamic, inclusive, and audacious mindset leaders must cultivate to stay relevant, help build a better future, and shape the First Productivity Revolution (!PR).
