Stowe Boyd

Internationally recognized futurist, analyst and researcher. Managing director, Another Voice, rethinking research for the new economy and helping clients answer their most strategic questions.

My focus is the future of work, and the tectonic forces pushing business, media, and society into an unclear and accelerating postnormal era.

I coined the term 'hashtag' as noted by The American Lexicographical Society and the Oxford English Dictionary, and also 'social tools', 'work management', and 'publicy'.

I've worked with dozens of companies in the past decades, including Microsoft, Google, IBM, and many startups. Earlier I was a computer science researcher/professor, led a software startup, and contributed to many journals and analyst firms.

Editor-in-Chief, Work Futures, a cabal of futurists exploring the shifting realities of work and our place in it. Formerly Head of Research, Gigaom, President, Corante, and Futurist-in-Residence, Spark. I serve on Microsoft’s future of work advisory board, and the Pew Research advisory board on robotics and automation. I've been noted as one of the Top Writers on Medium for the Future, Leadership, and Economics. I'm a Contributing Editor for Traction Technology Partners.

I've spoken at dozens of conferences and events worldwide, including Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, GigaOM Net:Work, Reboot, Next, Mesh, Shift, Lift, SIBOS, Defrag, SxSW, SocialNow, Business Innovation Factory, and various TEDx events.
