Keynote Speeches
AI has become an executive priority — but between inflated promises and rapid advancements, most leadership teams struggle to know where to begin. Futurist and former Head of Innovation at Mattel, Ramy Nassar, equips organizations to move beyond curiosity and pilot projects, toward responsible, measurable adoption of artificial intelligence.
Drawing on decades of hands-on experience building and deploying emerging technologies with some of the world’s biggest brands, Ramy brings clarity to the hype. He shares practical use cases and scalable frameworks that demystify the AI landscape — helping executives identify opportunities, avoid common pitfalls, and responsibly build solutions.
In this presentation, Ramy delivers a grounded, enterprise-focused view of AI: what matters now, what’s coming next, and what leaders can confidently set aside.
Audiences will learn how to:
- Separate hype from reality and identify AI use cases with measurable ROI
- Recognize risks, hallucinations, and governance challenges — and adopt responsible practices
- Apply practical tools, advanced prompting methods, and strategic frameworks that drive growth
This presentation can be delivered as a keynote or interactive workshop. Sessions often include live AI demonstrations and provide participants with a post-session toolkit (sample prompts, adoption frameworks, governance checklists) to inspire action the very next day.
What if your biggest risks aren’t today’s challenges — but tomorrow’s blind spots?
In a world defined by disruption, volatility, and accelerating technology, leaders can no longer rely on linear planning. To thrive, they must think like futurists: spotting signals, exploring scenarios, and preparing for multiple possible tomorrows.
Futurist and author Ramy Nassar equips leaders with practical foresight tools to anticipate disruption and turn uncertainty into opportunity. Through engaging stories and proven frameworks, participants learn how to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive strategy — reframing disruption as a catalyst for reinvention.
This energizing presentation inspires leaders to move beyond short-term survival and design organizations that are future-proof.
Audiences will learn how to:
- Spot signals and trends to anticipate disruption before competitors react
- Apply foresight methods (scenario planning, Janus Cones, horizon scanning) in strategy
- Develop adaptive strategies that reduce risk and create long-term resilience
The presentation is tailored to each client’s sector and includes in-depth research into industry-specific scenarios. Programs can be interactive (real-time foresight exercises, trend prioritization), and participants receive a post-session toolkit to bring learning back into their organizations.
What if the technologies shaping tomorrow are already here — just unevenly distributed?
Artificial Intelligence may dominate headlines, but quantum computing, blockchain, and other emerging technologies are converging to reshape industries, economies, and societies at unprecedented speed. Every executive is asking the same question: when should we invest in new technologies, and when should we wait?
Futurist and former Head of Innovation at Mattel, Ramy Nassar, draws from his forthcoming book The World After AI to explore how emerging technologies mature and intersect — often slower than expected, then suddenly all at once. With decades of experience guiding global organizations, he provides a practical lens for evaluating emerging technologies and building strategies that balance innovation with risk.
Participants leave with clarity and frameworks to know when to experiment, when to scale, and when to step back.
Audiences will learn how to:
- Decode AI, quantum, and blockchain without jargon — focusing only on strategic impact
- Recognize when to pilot, when to scale, and when to pause technology investments
- Build resilient strategies that adapt to convergence across industries
This keynote is always tailored to the audience, helping participants decide where to lean in, where to wait, and where to let technologies mature further.
How can enterprises learn to innovate with the speed and agility of startups?
In today’s AI-powered economy, the ability to adapt quickly isn’t a luxury — it’s survival. Yet most organizations are slowed by silos, legacy processes, and risk aversion.
Futurist and former Head of Innovation at Mattel, Ramy Nassar, brings decades of experience helping global brands reimagine innovation. Drawing on lessons from both startups and Fortune 500s, he shows leaders how to cultivate cultures, systems, and strategies that unlock enterprise-scale innovation.
Through stories from the front lines and proven frameworks, he equips leaders to embrace risk, adopt an AI-first mindset, and leap from incremental improvements to bold reinvention.
Audiences will learn how to:
- Build innovation systems that combine startup agility with enterprise scale
- Harness AI as a catalyst for creativity, speed, and competitive advantage
- Reframe culture, risk, and constraints as fuel for transformation and growth
This program can be delivered as a keynote or interactive workshop. It often includes startup-style design sprints, collaborative foresight activities, and tools leaders can use to rewire innovation practices the very next day.
