Jeremy Gutsche

Jeremy Gutsche is “an intellectual can of Red Bull” (Association Week), a New York Times bestselling author, and a management consultant to brands, billionaires, and CEOs (he’s even helped NASA brainstorm ways of putting people on Mars). He’s also the founder of Trendhunter.com: the world’s #1 trend-spotting site. With contagious enthusiasm, he shows us how to use methodical innovation to generate ideas and kickstart creativity, even during times of chaos—like the one we’re living through right now.

In his New York Times bestselling book Better and Faster: The Proven Path to Unstoppable Ideas (which reached #1 on Amazon and was chosen as a CEO Read “Select” book for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and managers), Gutsche reveals the six patterns of opportunity that help smart people and teams lead through change, destroy complacency, and realize their potential. Gutsche’s keynote videos regularly go viral, and his landmark Better and Faster talk was no exception: to date, it has surpassed 10 million views, making it the most watched innovation keynote in history. A creative globe-trotter and ambassador of transformational leadership, Gutsche once held a workshop for NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, helping them integrate AI, become “lean, agile, responsive and adaptive to change”—and, one day, get human beings to Mars. Gutsche’s latest book Create the Future is a tactical guide for disruptive thinking, paired with a revised edition of his award-winning first book Exploiting Chaos. Featuring a foreword by Malcolm Gladwell, the double-sided book offers up proven frameworks used by Gutsche and his team to accelerate 700 of the world’s most powerful brands.

Gutsche is the winner of The Cisco Innovation Excellence Award and the BDC’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In bold, interactive keynotes, he delivers a blend of viral new trends, strategic frameworks, and a contagious enthusiasm for innovation. He possesses a unique perspective on innovation in the business context, and draws on his background in both corporate strategy and Web 2.0 to provide you with inspiration and tools to generate ideas, stimulate creativity and unlock potential. At 28, as one of Capital One’s youngest Business Directors, Gutsche led his team to grow a billion dollar portfolio of market leading products. And as a Management Consultant for the Monitor Group, he advised Fortune 500 clients on top level strategy. His first business book, Exploiting Chaos, won an Axiom Business Book Award, was named an Inc. Best Book for Business Owners, and was a #1 bestseller on the 800 CEO Read list. He holds an MBA from Queen’s, is a CFA, and studied innovation at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.
