Dr. John Kao

Thought Leader in Innovation and Business Design



 

John Kao is known as an authority on the intersecting subjects of corporate innovation and transformation, digital media, design strategy, and the future of business. He has made a career out of helping organizations go from "getting" the importance of innovation to "getting innovation done." In addition to his other accomplishments, John is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, private investor, Tony-nominated producer, and business pioneer.

"If Orson Welles and Peter Drucker were somehow to mate the result would resemble John Kao - a serial innovator" The Economist
