The question I get asked a lot is what it means to be a ‘futurist’.
Devoted to exploring the future and spotting the trends and technologies that are shaping it, my mission is to give the world a better understanding of how society, human interactions and business will look like in the years and decades to come.
As a public speaker on future trends, I am trying to give my audience an optimistic, yet down-to-earth take on the future and how technologies disrupt everything we do. On the stage of conferences such as TEDxUOM, SocialMediaWeek, Digital Communications Network, I am answering the big and smaller questions that will define humanity: how do exponential technologies, such as AI, blockchain, and 3D printing, merge together and shape our world? What will the human-machine relationship look like? How will education, construction, medicine and all other industries are being disrupted?
Apart from my keynote talks, interacting with people has always been at the core of everything I undertake. With an academic background in design interactions and being part of the digital marketing world even before the birth of Facebook, soon along the way I decided to take the path of communication and storytelling. First as a lecturer at CITY College, University of York Europe Campus (Digital Marketing  Analytics, Artificial Intelligence & Predictive Analytics), and lately as a podcaster, co-hosting “Weekly Notes to My Future Self”, a podcast about AI, Technology and Digital Marketing, as well as hosting “PeopleWhoShare”series of interviews with inspirational figures.
But my curiosity and passion for innovation never let me shy away from action: I have co-founded TheFutureCats, an integrated digital marketing agency, as well as "ΕνΣΥΝαίσθηση", a volunteer platform harnessing the power of crowdfunding to solve homeless people direct needs. I have also worked for many years as a business consultant and my past ventures include Brainbox SA, a leading manufacturer of shared mobility solutions.
