Martin Talks

I have a fascination with the intersection of humanity and technology. I enjoy examining how technology shapes - and sometimes reshapes - our humanity, finding hope, and sometimes
humour, in a future that could easily veer into dystopia. Both in my writing and my consultancy work, I look for constructive outcomes in short, medium and long-term time frames. My work is powered by:

• Fluency in the latest technology and trends;
• Curiosity about their impact and Empathy with those impacted; and,
• Experimentation through agile innovation and creativity.

I wear several hats: As well as being an author, I am a consultant, trainer, futurist, technology safari guide, keynote speaker, executive coach and founders' friend.

I am a regular keynote speaker at global events and webinars and have appeared on television (BBC, Sky, Channel 5). I advise a range of companies and organisations around the world.

My background is as an entrepreneur who listed an online shares company on the London Stock Exchange and founded and sold a global digital marketing agency.

As well as being a father to three chldren, a husband and loyal servant of two dachshunds, I also paint pet portraits, publish memoirs and grow veg. Keeps me busy.
