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.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker.
