Philipp Kristian

His work as a human futurist concentrates on how our behaviour, generational dynamics and trust patterns are shaping the future in our midst. Its inspiring storytelling is rooted in a decade-long immersion in the art and science of mastering complex change – and a background in academic research helping him connect complex dots for us in simple terms, albeit with rigour and depth.

Trust is foundational to this. It isn't everything, but without it, everything is verily nothing. He is known for his seminal work on changing the global narrative on trust in a digital age - defining its role as: a gatekeeper to economic value creation; a behavioural force of persuasion shaping how we spend our money, data and time in the digital economy and a change oracle that decides the fate of digital transformation and innovation ambitions. This is true on a human level, too. Key to transforming our lives is trusting that we will discover our brightest futures and best selves right here within us. In us is where waves of change begin and end their motion. This is why the core principle of his work is humanising our transformation.

Prior to this full-time endeavour, he held several large-scale Fortune 500 innovation strategy mandates and drove an 8-figure transformation consulting engagement for a financial institution – all across JAPAC, concentrating on new digital value propositions and human-centred design thinking.

Further, he shaped proposition, branding and strategic direction advising founder-CEOs of Singlife and Circles, two of Singapore’s most extraordinary scale-up success stories, and Change Invest, an Estonian startup Wall-of-Fame awardee.

Philipp Kristian is an alumnus of Kinnernet, WEF Global Shapers, TEDx, St. Gallen Symposium, KAIROS Fellowship, d-school at Hasso-Plattner-Institute and the Honours Bachelor Programme at University of Groningen.

His work designing and delivering trailblazing executive education programmes also includes faculty assignments at INSEAD, CEDEP, Civil Service College and Singapore Management University. Beyond work, he finds balance in yoga, nature and daily meditation practice. The latter inspired a deep immersion in the spiritual and

scriptural traditions of the world.
