Jacob Morgan biography
Keynote speaker Jacob Morgan is a globally recognized futurist and best-selling author focused on leadership, employee experience, and the future of work. He is known for helping organizations understand what it truly means to be future-ready in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, changing workforce expectations, and continuous disruption.
Jacob’s perspective is shaped by both academic training and firsthand experience. After earning degrees in psychology and economics, he entered the corporate world expecting meaningful growth, only to encounter disengaging work and outdated leadership practices. A defining moment came when he was asked to fetch coffee for a CEO, prompting him to leave corporate life and commit his career to building the kinds of workplaces to which people actually want to belong.
Furthermore, Jacob is the author of six books on leadership and work, including The Future of Work, The Employee Experience Advantage, and Leading With Vulnerability. His book The 8 Laws of Employee Experience brings together years of research into a clear, futurist-informed model for designing organizations where people and performance thrive. This last book is positioned as a foundational resource for leaders navigating transformation, rather than a response to short-term trends.
