About

I am Edgar Perez, a global keynote speaker, futurist, and strategist at the intersection of innovation, adaptability, and exponential technologies. I help leaders around the world not just understand disruption, but win through it. From Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing to 6G and FinTech, I translate complexity into clarity, turning technological change into strategic advantage. My mission is simple: ignite minds, inspire action, and equip organizations to lead the future. I have authored two influential books, Knightmare on Wall Street and The Speed Traders, published globally in multiple languages, and my insights have been featured on CNN, CNBC, CGTN, Bloomberg, CNA, The New York Times, Fortune and The Wall Street Journal. Over the years, I have delivered hundreds of keynotes and executive programs for Fortune 500 companies, regulators, and elite academic institutions in cities from Shanghai to Stockholm, Dubai to New York, and Singapore to London. Leaders across industries have relied on my perspectives to accelerate innovation, strengthen digital competitiveness, and shape strategic transformation. What drives me? Impact that sticks. That is why testimonials from clients matter most: 🔹 “Delegates hung off your every word.” — Institutional Investor (UK) 🔹 “Absolutely exceeded our expectations.” — StartSe (Brazil) 🔹 “Thrilled to have your participation.” — CME Group (US) 🔹 “Your vision was essential for 265 banking leaders from 30 countries.” — ALIDE (Peru) 🔹 “Undoubtedly lively and unquestionably inspiring; top executives were captivated.” — Fudan University (China) I bring this energy to every stage, whether speaking to boards, CEOs, ministers, investors, diplomats or university scholars. Audiences consistently describe my presentations as fascinating, enlightening, and deeply relevant, not because I predict the future, but because I help people understand how to build it. My career foundation, as VP at Citigroup and Consultant at IBM and McKinsey, gives me deep real-world perspective. My academic journey spans Systems Engineering in Peru, a Master of Administration from ESAN, and an MBA from Columbia Business School. Today, the world is changing faster than organizations can adapt. If you are shaping the future, building ecosystems, training leaders, transforming enterprises, or inspiring nations, let’s connect. Together we can ignite innovation, accelerate readiness, and help your audience see the future before it happens. Let’s build what’s next.

  • Influential educator and skillful presenter with hundreds of keynote addresses around the world on topics such as:
  • · Advice for Global Organizations: Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste
  • A “black swan” event of the magnitude of COVID-19 will certainly trigger a radical change in the expectations of business stakeholders. Organizations that reinvent themselves and leverage Artificial Intelligence, IOT and Blockchain to make the most of better insight and foresight will disproportionally stand to succeed. Online commerce could be turbocharged in ways that irreversibly reshape consumer behavior. Furthermore, the requirement of resilience trumps the everlasting pursuit of efficiency; potentially marking the end of supply-chain globalization. Mr. Edgar Perez will inspire CEOs not only to analyze weaknesses but also to discover opportunities to improve the performance of their organizations.
  • · Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and… your company?
  • Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet now sit on top of the list of most valuable tech companies in the world, as each is worth more than $1 trillion. Significantly, these four companies have all looked at cloud computing for growth. In turn, the market has rewarded their shareholders richly, as each of these companies’ market values have climbed to record levels. What is it about the cloud computing paradigm that makes these companies so valuable? Could your clients apply this philosophy to their own businesses? The answer is yes. You only have to look at Porsche Passport, the most streamlined way to drive a Porsche by including most of the aspects of ownership or leasing into one convenient package and payment plan. Notably, 80% of subscribers never owned or leased a Porsche prior to the Passport program. Mr. Edgar Perez will share key lessons and insights to explore this new business model.
