Mike Walsh biography
AI speaker Mike Walsh is one of the world’s most trusted voices at the intersection of artificial intelligence, organizational strategy, and the future of leadership. A globally recognized futurist and the CEO of Tomorrow, he has spent more than two decades advising Fortune 50 corporations, governments, and major institutions across every industry, with a rare ability to translate frontier technology into strategy that leaders can act on.
His work pairs deep technical understanding with sharp commercial instinct, helping leaders move past abstract AI hype toward a concrete vision of what their organizations must become. Before founding Tomorrow, Walsh launched internet.com in Australia, which became the country’s leading technology news and events platform, and founded Jupiter Research in the Asia Pacific, one of the first agencies to systematically study digital consumer behavior. He also spent five years in senior strategy roles at News Corporation and Star TV, shaping the digital roadmap for some of the world’s largest media organizations.
Walsh is the author of three bestselling books. Futuretainment, published by Phaidon, won the Art Director’s Club award in New York and anticipated the rise of smartphones, social media, streaming, and digital influence. The Dictionary of Dangerous Ideas foresaw major shifts including micro-satellite networks, remote work, and autonomous vehicles. The Algorithmic Leader: How to Be Smart When Machines Are Smarter Than You offers a rigorous, practical roadmap for reinventing leadership in the era of machine intelligence, and was presented to world leaders at the Ambrosetti Global Forum at Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, Italy. His forthcoming book, Abundant Intelligence: How Digital Labor Will Rewrite the Rules of Business, co-authored with Deloitte’s Global AI leader Nitin Mittal, examines the rise of billions of AI agents and what it will take for leaders to govern and thrive with digital labor at scale.
The Go-To Futurist for Senior Leadership
A regular contributor to the Harvard Business Review, Walsh writes on data-driven decision-making, algorithmic management, AI ethics, and the design of agile organizations. His weekly LinkedIn newsletter, Tomorrowist, reaches a global audience of senior executives, and his podcast Between Worlds features hundreds of interviews each year with scientists, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders. His work has appeared in Inc. Magazine, BusinessWeek, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal.
As a speaker, Mike Walsh brings an energizing combination of intellectual rigor and genuine urgency to every stage. He has delivered over 1,000 keynotes on six continents, from boardroom briefings for Verizon and Raytheon to employee summits that fill stadiums with audiences of 25,000 or more. Senior audiences value his gift for making complex futures feel concrete and within reach, leaving every room not just inspired but equipped with new mental models for leading in an era when machines are becoming genuine partners in decision-making.

Mike Walsh Keynote Topics
As AI shifts from simple automation to autonomous action, organizations face their most profound transformation since the Industrial Revolution. In this keynote, Mike Walsh explores how AI agents that can reason, act, and coordinate on their own are reconfiguring customer experience, internal operations, and the nature of knowledge work itself. Drawing on frontier research, hundreds of executive interviews, and his forthcoming Harvard Business Review Press book, Walsh presents a concrete vision of companies operating as networks of AI agents that solve problems at once-unimaginable speed and scale, and hands leaders a practical roadmap for rethinking their operating models, governance, and workforce strategies.
AI should change what we do, not merely how we do it. Over the coming decade, leaders have a rare chance to reimagine customer experiences, redesign how organizations work, and rethink how problems get solved. The greatest risk is not machines taking control; it is leaders who lack ambition about what the future could be. Mike Walsh maps the road to 2035, showing how AI, algorithms, and automation will power a Fifth Industrial Revolution that demands an entirely new cultural operating system for how organizations think, decide, and compete.
In a world reshaped by technological breakthroughs, shifting customer behavior, geopolitical tension, and the rise of machine intelligence, success belongs to those who dare to adapt, experiment, and reinvent at scale. Incremental improvement is a strategy for irrelevance. Real progress demands bold ideas that challenge convention, open new markets, and combine technologies in unexpected ways. Drawing on his global research and advisory work, Walsh explains why transformation is not a checklist but a series of courageous decisions, and why the leaders who shape what comes next will be those willing to act before the path is obvious.
Drawing on his most acclaimed book, Mike Walsh reframes leadership itself for the age of machine intelligence. Rather than treating AI as a tool to bolt onto old ways of working, he lays out the new mental models, organizational structures, and decision-making habits that define the leaders who thrive alongside intelligent machines. Through vivid global case studies and a set of practical principles, Walsh shows senior leaders how to think probabilistically, design for algorithms, and build the judgment to lead when data and machines shape every consequential choice.
