Mark van Rijmenam

Dr. Mark van Rijmenam is a world-leading strategic futurist and award-winning keynote speaker known as The Digital Speaker. He is the futurist who shows up after the hype, when leadership teams need a framework, a stance on risk, and a path to action.

As a Certified Speaking Professional, Global Speaking Fellow, and 6-time author, he has captivated audiences in over 32 countries, across all continents.

He is the author of the award-winning book Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change, a practical playbook built on his WAVE Framework, which helps organizations separate signal from noise, turn insight into action, stress-test assumptions, and build capability without creating dependency.

Beyond the stage, he founded Futurwise, "noise-cancelling for your brain," a platform that surfaces verified, human-cited intelligence from the world's best thinkers so teams can track fast-moving topics without drowning in feeds, dashboards, and hot takes.

His keynotes and workshops don't predict the future. They equip leaders to exercise better judgment inside it. Mark translates complexity into clarity, and clarity into decisions leaders can execute the next morning.
