Chris Riddell Biography
Chris Riddell is an award-winning and industry recognized human futurist, forensic optimist, and energizing catalyst.
Driven by the real world, by humanity, and by ‘the now’, Riddell makes sense of the uncomfortable and challenging world of ‘the future’ and makes the case for excitement, motivation, and optimism. His expertise is frequently sought after for keynotes at major conferences, including the Telstra Retail Conference where he discussed the future of digital and its impact on our world.
And there’s never been a more critical time for optimism — but moreover, optimism with rigor. Riddell’s obsession with data, detail, and insights — making unique connections and unlocking new perspectives — forms a compelling case for a future that will be better than today. His engaging presentation style, combining detailed insights with dynamic screen content and showmanship, has resonated well at events such as the convention for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and presentations for Isuzu Australia Limited.
This obsession with the future — and ‘the now’ that shapes it — has powered Riddell’s thinking, and his career, for 15 years. Having lived across the globe and worked for some of the largest and influential businesses and brands on the planet, Riddell has honed his ability to spot and track global patterns and unlocking opportunities in the increasingly disrupted digital world we live in. He has been described as someone who brings clarity to complicated topics and engages audiences with exciting new perspectives on digital impacts.
Riddell’s approach sits at the intersection of rigor and insight — and heart and energy. Taking what we know — and fear — about our world today and tomorrow and encouraging changes in attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and mindsets… all wrapped up in awesome entertainment and showmanship. He offers a virtual event titled "Business Beyond 2030," focusing on preparing businesses for future challenges with innovative perspectives on business and leadership.
This is the power of the live Chris Riddell experience. It’s real, relatable, relevant, and revelatory, designed to prepare audiences for significant digital transformations and to inspire strategic thinking for navigating future challenges.

Chris Riddell Speaking Topics
It’s never too soon to prepare your business for the world of tomorrow. The speed of change we’re experiencing is altering every facet of our lives—and this dramatically different world requires a shift in thinking and a fresh perspective on business, on leadership and on our global community.
So, let’s prepare ourselves today for this new world by immersing our businesses and our teams in the critical factors that have the power to affect how we do business today and how we evolve and thrive towards the future.
WHAT WILL THE CUSTOMER OF 2030 LOOK LIKE… THINK LIKE… BEHAVE LIKE? AND CAN WE PREDICT THEIR NEEDS BEFORE EVEN THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT?
The ‘future of customer’ is a story of data, real-time information and radical experience transformation. And in a post-pandemic era it is more important than ever to deeply understand the genetic construct of your customer and their continually evolving needs.
Generation Alpha—the “children of the millennials”—are already guiding many of the purchasing decisions within their families. They are expected to be the longest-living and the wealthiest generation to have ever lived. This will be the most diverse, demanding and tech saturated generation we’ve ever seen, and we need to understand who they are—and what’s important to them—right now.
WHEN OUR ‘BUSINESS AS USUAL’ IS ANYTHING BUT… HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO GROW, THRIVE AND INNOVATE? WHAT COULD INCREDIBLE BUSINESS LOOK LIKE AMIDST THE INCREDIBLY UNUSUAL?
COVID-19 has been the biggest stress test for business and the global economy in living memory. But while it is undoubtedly challenging many businesses to find different, smarter, more connected ways of operating, surviving and connecting with their audiences—it’s also revealing pockets of startling ingenuity and resilience—sometimes in the most unlikely places.
Let’s discover and uncover the diversifications, innovations and strategies that some of the world’s most exciting businesses have employed to ensure that they’re riding the wave of reinvention—while not being drowned in the process.
WITH THE WORLD AT A PRECIPICE, HOW CAN BUSINESS LEADERS REINVENT THEMSELVES AND EMBRACE REAL-TIME DECISION MAKING FOR THE CHALLENGES AHEAD?
The need for leadership invigoration has never been more urgent. Leaders are navigating a dynamic, fast-paced digital age, and working within this environment demands leaders make decisions more quickly, agilely and across virtual landscapes.
The global community is shrinking, and reliance on high-performing, collaborative teams is more critical than ever. And in turn, leaders will need to evolve their understanding of human behaviour and the human brain through neuroleadership which will help create more effective leadership, better change management and drive positive behaviours.
HOW CAN WE BUILD ENDURING CONSUMER TRUST IN AN AGE WHERE WE GAIN DIGITAL LEVERAGE BY MERELY PUSHING THE “ENTER” KEY?
Trust, in its simplest form has been the cornerstone of our civilisation for 10,000 years. It’s the glue that holds everything together—it’s what makes people feel safe, feel connected and feel like they belong.
But what role does trust play in our digital lives? With recent events contributing to the decline in levels of trust in major public and private institutions across much of the world, we need to invest in—and understand—the increasing human need for digital trust.
And with the proliferation of new trust-enabling technologies—transforming how trust is built, facilitated and maintained in our digital age—the transformation and instruct importance of trust in our world has never been more important.
