Brian Solis biography
Brian Solis is a globally recognized digital analyst, anthropologist, and one of the most influential voices studying the intersection of emerging technology, human behavior, and business transformation. For nearly three decades, he has shaped how executives, entrepreneurs, and innovators think about disruption — not as a threat to manage, but as an opportunity to lead.
As a digital transformation speaker, Brian Solis brings a rare combination of research depth and visionary clarity to some of the most pressing questions facing business leaders today: How do you build organizations that don’t just survive disruption but lead it? How does AI reshape leadership, culture, and the customer experience? What does it mean to be a human-centered innovator in an increasingly automated world?
Solis currently serves as Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, where he sets the strategic direction for the company’s Innovation and Executive Briefing Centers across Silicon Valley, New York, London, Paris, Sydney, and Singapore. In this role, he works directly with some of the world’s most influential executives to shape digital and business innovation strategies at scale.
Eight Bestselling Books, One Consistent Mission
Solis is the author of eight best-selling books that have defined conversations around digital transformation, customer experience, and the future of work. His most recent title, Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future, explores how leaders can spot emerging opportunities, rally teams around visionary ideas, and navigate uncertainty in an era of rapid AI-driven change. Earlier landmark works include X: The Experience When Business Meets Design, which redefined how companies think about customer journeys, and Engage, which became a foundational text in the social media era. His book Lifescale addressed the human consequences of digital distraction — a topic that resonates far beyond the corporate world.
Recognized by Thinkers50, featured regularly in Forbes, and cited by brands ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, Solis has built a global following of over 700,000 professionals who look to his research to stay ahead of technology’s next wave.
As a speaker, Brian Solis commands the stage with a style that is equal parts rigorous and inspiring. His keynotes bridge the gap between frontier research and immediate business application, helping senior audiences understand not just what is changing — but why it matters and what to do about it. Whether addressing AI adoption, the future of leadership, or the art of designing meaningful customer experiences, he leaves audiences with a clear framework for action, not just awareness. Organizations book Solis when they need a speaker who can challenge assumptions, elevate the conversation, and send their teams back with genuine strategic clarity.

Brian Solis Keynote Topics
The rules of leadership are being rewritten — and the organizations that thrive will be those whose leaders see around corners. Drawing from his latest book Mindshift, Brian Solis explores how executives can develop the mindset and tools to spot emerging opportunities, rally their teams around bold ideas, and build cultures of adaptive innovation. This keynote is a call to action for leaders who want to shape the future rather than react to it — delivering a practical framework for navigating uncertainty with clarity, courage, and strategic foresight.
In a world where products and services are increasingly commoditized, the organizations that win are those that design every touchpoint with intention. Grounded in his landmark book X: The Experience When Business Meets Design, Solis explores how the most forward-thinking companies are reimagining the customer journey from the inside out. Audiences learn how to map and redesign experiences that create emotional resonance, drive loyalty, and generate measurable business value — moving beyond satisfaction scores to genuine connection.
As AI reshapes industries and job functions, the most important question isn't what machines will replace — it's what uniquely human capacities leaders must now develop and amplify. Brian Solis examines how organizations can harness AI as a force multiplier while preserving the creativity, empathy, and judgment that define great leadership and great culture. This keynote equips executives with a clear-eyed view of AI's near-term impact on workforce strategy, talent development, and organizational design — and the principles for making the transition human-centered.
Technology and society are evolving faster than most organizations can naturally adapt — and that gap is widening. In this provocative keynote, Brian Solis introduces the concept of "digital Darwinism" and examines the forces reshaping industries, customer expectations, and competitive dynamics. He shows how organizations can build the structural agility and leadership mindset required to not just keep up, but to lead the next wave of transformation — with real-world case studies and a framework for building a future-ready organization.
