**Happy to speak at events and webinars but avoid appearing on panels that lack diversity. Even if this means I have to give up my spot** For speaking opportunities check out www.DavidShrier.com I focus on using technology to solve problems at scale, at the intersection of cognitive computing and analytics. Visionary Future, my venture studio, has a team of over 40 executives who split their time between advisory work (helping $1bn+ and large cap companies build growth) and startups. I led an oversubscribed IPO on the NYSE as CEO, managed listing transfer to NASDAQ, $11 billion of innovation initiatives in the Fortune 1000, private equity and venture capital including over $900 million of completed principal transactions as either lead investor or management. I have served as a board director of NYSE, NASDAQ and LSE-listed companies. My investments are divided among technology platforms, new financial architectures, biosciences and energy & sustainability. See my portfolio @ visionaryfuture.com. My academic work focuses on sovereign AI, commercialization of trusted artificial intelligence and on the growing professionalization of digital assets. I helped spin out five AI startups from MIT, teach on technology-enabled innovation (Professor of Practice at Imperial College London) and advise government (US, EU, UK, Luxembourg), independent supervisory bodies, and private companies on disruption and transformational growth.
