Anders Sorman-Nilsson

Anders Sorman-Nilsson is a Swedish-Australian futurist and the founder of Thinque, a global strategy firm that has advised Apple, Cisco, Johnson and Johnson, Mercedes-Benz, SAP, and Gartner on navigating the boundary between analog heritage and digital future. His book Digilogue gave a name to the challenge most organizations are actually facing: not how to go digital, but how to honor what made them great while building what comes next.

Bridging Analog and Digital

Sorman-Nilsson’s Digilogue framework gives organizations a structured way to think about digital transformation that does not require abandoning the relationships, craft, and human touch that built their reputation. His keynotes are built for leadership audiences who have seen enough digital disruption content to know the difference between a speaker who understands their business and one who does not. He delivers specific, research-backed strategies for staying relevant without losing identity.

A Global Platform and Serious Credentials

Sorman-Nilsson holds a law degree and an MBA, has been nominated for the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leader designation, and keynoted at the G20’s Y20 Summit in Australia. He is an active member of TEDGlobal and has delivered TEDx talks in both the United States and Australia. His presentations are extensively researched and customized, which is why clients return.

Anders Sorman-Nilsson keynotes are booked for events focused on digital transformation, future trends, innovation strategy, and helping organizations navigate the tension between digital disruption and the analog strengths that define their competitive advantage.
