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 $60+ billion worth of major global brands. Invited to give over 100 global keynote talks, and with growing conviction of what will (and needs to) shift, executives value her unique abilities to sense and synthesize the terrain ahead. Her expertise and experiences range from A.I., to frozen foods, to reinventing the internet. All of her projects have a key common denominator: transitioning  away from the extractive operating systems and outdated business thinking that  no longer holds up, to creating the more sustainable, inclusive and dynamic  solutions the future demands.  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 learning with some of the top companies in the world. In 2015 she helped shape an artificial intelligence start-up and later went on to build 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 + Dollar Donation Club.  Two years ago, Nancy partnered with Austin-based artificial  intelligence services company, Kungfu.AI. She is also working Riane Eisler to  create a movement around Partnerism, a socio-economic system that is built on  partnership versus the domination models of Capitalism and Socialism. And is  helping advance two post-blockchain solutions poised to weave a more human  internet : Holochain + Holo hosting.  A 10-year TEDx curator (and 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 + high  school students, co-Founder of the Femme Futurists Society (a collection of  interviews with leading futurists around the world).  Ranked 1 on Amazon for both Business Ethics and Organization  Strategy, her first book, titled Leadering: The Ways Visionary Leaders Play  Bigger, defines and makes visible the dynamic, inclusive and audacious mindset  leaders must cultivate in order to stay relevant, help build a better next and  shape the First Productivity Revolution (!PR) /span
