Speaker Bio:
Jason Dorsey’s passion is uncovering hidden insights and unexpected strategies that future-proof your organization. He has led nearly 100 benchmark research studies on four continents to separate myth from truth for leaders to take action. Adweek calls him a “research guru.”
Dorsey co-founded The Center for Generational Kinetics to shed new light and reveal practical solutions for bridging generations of customers, clients, employees, and stakeholders. A trusted expert on emerging behavioral trends, Dorsey has been featured on over 200 TV shows such as 60 Minutes, The Today Show, CNN, CNBC, BBC, NBC, HLN, FOX, and hundreds more media interviews, including a New York Times cover story.
Known for choosing a non-traditional path, Dorsey wrote his first bestselling book at age 18. He navigated sleeping on a floor for two years to get his first business, book, and vision truly “off the ground.” He has co-founded three companies, made the Inc 5000 list three times, made the fastest growing companies in Austin list twice, served on both public and private company board of directors, advised some of the most prominent private equity firms in the world, and is a venture partner at a leading early-stage technology venture capital firm.
Dorsey is known for his trademark keynote speaking style which combines surprising insights, entertaining delivery, customized strategies, and practical actions that leaders can use immediately. As a speaker, he’s received over 1,000 standing ovations from audiences of 16 executives in a boardroom to 16,000 business leaders in an arena. A global trends speaker, he has headlined events from Paris and London to Singapore and India. He keynoted events in all 50 U.S. states before age 30 and won Austin Under 40 Entrepreneur of the Year for Education at age 25, one of the youngest winners ever.
An advocate for entrepreneurs and those facing adversity, Dorsey is passionate about helping non-traditional founders and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. When he’s not on a plane, stage, or TV screen, you can find him in Austin, Texas trying out new restaurants or reading a book on history (or both at the same time).
