Andrew Grill, an Adelaide-born Londoner, has a job title not many can lay claim to. He styles himself as an “actionable futurist”. Under this enigmatic chapeau, he wears many hats: corporate speaker, conference compere, podcaster, mentor, tech adviser and strategy consultant.

There’s a thread that runs through all this: Grill’s daily graft is to unpack the latest tech innovations and trends for perplexed business executives and lay people, to get them enthused about it, and to prepare them for what might come next.
