Gihan Perera is a futurist, conference speaker, author and consultant who gives audiences a glimpse into what is ahead and how they can become fit for the future, in both professional and personal lives.
Since 1997, he has worked with business leaders, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and other change agents, helping them with their strategy for thriving in a fastchanging world. He has clients throughout Australia, as well as in New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Singapore, the USA and Canada.
Gihan is the author of 'The Future of Leadership', 'Disruption By Design', as well as 10 additional books. He has always taken the lead in embracing emerging technologies and trends, from his university thesis in robotics and artificial intelligence, to leading a software development team building the infrastructure for the early Internet, founding one of Australia’s first Web development companies in 1996, teaching thought leaders how to engage in e-learning platforms, and helping business leaders build their personal brand and online influence.

TESTIMONIALS
Gihan’s presentation in our strategic planning session was highly engaging and resonated well with those present. His approach and discussion stimulated the participants to think more about what could be in the future and provided an excellent pathway leading into the workshops that followed.
St John of God Health Care
Gihan’s presentation was a great opening session at our recent senior leader’s forum. Gihan cleverly integrated his knowledge and facts about technology evolutions and other global disruptions into a compelling story about the change occurring in our working lives, and how we can best respond to it as leaders and individuals. Gihan’s perspective on the changing ‘world of work’ and the critical skills leaders need to do develop to ensure clarity and engagement for their employees, was insightful and resonated with our leaders.
