Zach Piester
About Speaker Zach Piester...
Powerful technological forces including Blockchain, AI and Advanced Analytics have and are reshaping business foundations creating massive gaps between corporate winners and losers.
Why Zach?
A candid, honest and sometimes funny perspective on emerging tech, innovation, disruption and the fight to stay competitive and relevant. Piester explains highly complex technologies in a way your grandmother would understand.
For 15+ yrs I've been at the forefront of emerging technology as an investor, entrepreneur, growth executive and innovation leader. I am a longtime advisor to senior executives in Fortune 500 companies, global fast growth companies and tech disruptors on how to develop, design and scale new innovations. Advising senior policy makers in emerging markets across Asia is a regular occurrence.
Much of my work the past 5yrs has been centered on Blockchain technology. I am not a blockchain cheerleader. I truly believe the technology sucks, except when it doesn't. Its when it doesn't suck that is extremely powerful and has already created new category leaders in Insurance, Financial Services, Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Smart Cities, States and Governments. Combine blockchain with AI, Advanced Analytics, Smart secure devices and we're at completely new levels.
My speaking style has been described as honest, genuine, engaging and fun. I deplore stages (why speak down to audience).
Daniel Kahneman changed my life. Robert Cialdini put an exclamation point on it.
I should have been an organizational psychologist!
