    Jeremy Gutsche biography

    Jeremy Gutsche is one of the most in-demand innovation keynote speakers on the planet — a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning futurist, and the CEO of Trend Hunter AI, the world’s largest and most-visited trend intelligence platform, with over 3.5 billion views, 300 million visitors, and 14,000 custom trend projects completed for more than 1,300 of the world’s most powerful brands. When Sony, Google, Disney, NASA, Pfizer, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, IBM, Microsoft, and Red Bull need to see around corners, they turn to Gutsche and his team.

    Innovation speaker Jeremy Gutsche built his reputation by doing what very few people in business can genuinely claim: predicting the future with enough precision to change how organizations act in the present. Before founding Trend Hunter, he managed a $1 billion portfolio at Capital One and consulted at Monitor Deloitte — giving him both the analytical rigor and the commercial instinct that set his frameworks apart from purely academic trend forecasting. His innovation keynote, Better and Faster, became the most-watched innovation speech in YouTube history, with over 11 million views. His books — including Exploiting Chaos, Better and Faster, and Create the Future — have become Axiom Award winners and standard references for leaders navigating disruption. He holds an MBA and CFA designation, and has been called “an intellectual can of Red Bull” by Association Week, an “Oracle” by the Globe and Mail, and “the Rockstar of Keynote Speakers” by Meeting Professionals International.

    The scale of Gutsche’s client work is genuinely rare. He has helped NASA prototype the mission to Mars, assisted Occidental in planning a $1 billion carbon capture facility — the largest eco-project of its kind in the world — and has delivered innovation workshops and keynotes to more than 750 brands, billionaires, CEOs, and world leaders. His Trend Hunter AI platform, now backed by a global network of over 300,000 contributors, uses artificial intelligence to surface patterns across tens of millions of data points, giving organizations the intelligence to move from reactive to anticipatory.

    AI Innovation and the Super Future

    Gutsche was integrating AI into innovation strategy long before most organizations had a policy on it — including helping IBM launch Watson AI as far back as 2013. Today, his signature keynote, AI and the Super Future, draws on nearly two decades of AI-powered trend research to give senior audiences a clear, actionable map for navigating the current AI revolution: what limitations are holding organizations back, what the most forward-thinking companies are doing differently, and how to build a concrete AI action plan that goes beyond hype. In 2025, he keynoted major events including First Advantage’s Collaborate Conference, where his session on AI innovation and the future of work drew some of the highest audience ratings of any speaker in the event’s history.

    As a speaker, Jeremy Gutsche delivers something that senior audiences rarely get: genuine energy combined with genuine substance. His sessions are fast-paced, visually rich, and packed with case studies drawn from Trend Hunter’s unmatched database of innovation patterns. Leaders across industries book him when they need their teams not just informed, but activated — ready to hunt opportunity rather than wait for it.

    Jeremy Gutsche Keynote Topics

    AI is not a future threat to prepare for — it is a present opportunity most organizations are already missing. In this high-energy, forward-looking keynote, Gutsche draws on nearly two decades of AI-powered trend research to map the AI revolution with unusual clarity: what is actually happening beneath the headlines, where the real competitive advantages are emerging, and how senior leaders can move from hesitation to action. He identifies the seven limitations holding most organizations back from genuine AI adoption and the seven concrete next steps that separate the companies thriving in the AI era from those falling behind. Audiences leave with a personal AI action plan and a framework they can use immediately.

    Based on his New York Times bestselling book and Trend Hunter's analysis of tens of millions of innovations, this is Gutsche's signature keynote — and the most-watched innovation speech in YouTube history. He reveals the neurological and organizational traps that cause smart teams to miss opportunities right in front of them, and provides the tactical frameworks his team has used to help over 750 brands, billionaires, and CEOs accelerate innovation. Fast-paced, visually rich, and built around real case studies, this session gives audiences both the mindset shift and the practical tools to become genuine hunters of opportunity rather than defenders of the status quo.

    The biggest threat to any successful organization is not competition — it is the comfort of its own past success. In this keynote based on his Axiom Award-winning book, Gutsche reveals the seven traps of path dependency that cause even the most talented leaders to repeat yesterday's decisions rather than invent tomorrow's opportunities. Drawing on 200 CEO interviews and case studies from Trend Hunter's global innovation database, he shows audiences how to identify the patterns of disruption before they become existential threats, and how to build the organizational habits that turn chaos into competitive advantage. Equal parts diagnostic and playbook, this session is built for leaders who want to act, not just think.

    History's most enduring companies — Disney, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard — were built during periods of maximum uncertainty. Chaos is not the enemy of innovation: it is its greatest accelerator. In this keynote based on his internationally translated debut book, Gutsche unpacks the strategic, cultural, and trend-based frameworks that allow organizations to not just survive disruption but use it as fuel. With lessons drawn from Trend Hunter's database of 250,000+ innovations and Gutsche's hands-on work with brands navigating everything from financial crises to AI transformation, audiences gain a concrete set of tools for spotting, seizing, and scaling the opportunities that most organizations are too cautious to pursue.
