Roger Spitz is a futurist who helps organisations anticipate disruption and build capacity for systemic change. He advises corporations, investment funds, and public sector bodies on navigating complexity in an era defined by artificial intelligence and exponential technological shifts.
Roger spent two decades in global finance and technology, serving as Global Head of Technology M&A at BNP Paribas, where he led transactions valued at more than $25 billion. He now chairs the Disruptive Futures Institute in San Francisco, sits on the board of Vektor Partners, a venture capital firm, and serves as a non-executive director for multiple technology companies. He is a member of the World Economic Forum Global Foresight Network and was recently recognized in the Global Gurus Top 30 Futurists list for 2026.
His proprietary AAA Framework (Antifragility, Anticipatory Thinking, and Agility) provides executives with practical tools for decision-making under uncertainty. Through the Disruptive Futures Institute, Roger delivers hands-on workshops that move beyond trend analysis to build organizational capability. His concept of "Techistentialism" examines leadership challenges posed by intelligent machines, and his research appears in MIT Technology Review, the Journal of Futures Studies, and World Economic Forum publications.
Audiences gain actionable frameworks for strategic planning, methods for managing volatility, and approaches to responsible AI deployment. Roger's boardroom experience and global perspective translate complex futures thinking into immediate business application.
Book Roger for a futurist with both Wall Street credibility and practical implementation tools that delivers substance over speculation.
