Kate O'Neill

Digital transformation expert and pioneer Kate O’Neill shares her “Tech Humanist” enthusiasm for the power of data, automation, AI and human-centric design to help businesses thrive—and improve lives—at scale.

A warm, relatable tech futurist with 25 years of experience and entrepreneurship in data-based business models, integrated experience strategy and human-centric digital transformation, Kate O’Neill leverages the “positive energy” and “contagious enthusiasm” she is known for to help organizations face the unknown with optimism and make strategic decisions in a time of constant change.

As one of the first 100 employees at Netflix, Kate helped launch the company that soon became everyone’s favorite case study for disruptive innovation. Today, as an entrepreneur and the CEO of her own tech advisory firm, she advises organizations such as Google, Coca-Cola and the United Nations on the strategies that will prepare their business, their teams, customers—and the planet—for whatever comes next.

An award-winning technology thought leader, Kate has been called “Peter Drucker for the digital age.” A sought-after commentator and analyst, her insights and work have appeared in a wide range of media outlets, including the BBC, NBC, NPR, WIRED, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal. 

The author of four books, including Pixels and Place (2016), Tech Humanist (2018), and her most recent, A Future So Bright (2021), Kate’s focus is on the impact of data and emerging technologies on current and future human experiences—and the importance of making technology better for humans.

Whether speaking about Tech Humanism, purpose-driven strategy, digital transformation, automation, integration, AI or the future of work, Kate O’Neill is a dynamic, playful, and wildly thought-provoking speaker who never fails to inspire.
