Amy Webb

World-Renowned Futurist; Founder/CEO
of the Future Today Strategy Group

Amy Webb is widely recognized as the global authority who transformed the practice of strategic foresight into a rigorous, data-driven discipline. A pioneering quantitative futurist, she established the field’s foundational methodologies that today guide leaders, organizations and governments in anticipating disruption, shaping the future and securing long-term growth.


As founder and CEO of the Future Today Strategy Group, Webb built the world’s first foresight tools grounded in quantitative modeling. Her firm’s foresight methodology identifies early signals of transformation across industries, converts them into actionable intelligence, and maps the implications of emerging technologies—from artificial intelligence and biotechnology to climate systems and geo-economic realignments. This approach has set the standard for evidence-based futures strategy worldwide.


Webb and her team advise a significant portion of the Fortune 100. New CEOs rely on her counsel to navigate leadership transitions and articulate a vision for the next decade. Seasoned executives turn to her to identify their organizations’ next growth curves, while boards of directors seek her guidance to understand disruption, systemic risk and opportunity amid accelerating change.


She is also a trusted adviser to the White House, U.S. federal agencies, Congress, the European Union, and the United Nations, where her work informs global technology governance and long-term policy planning. Webb was elected a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations and is a member of the Bretton Woods Committee. She is a founding member of the World Economic Forum’s Strategic Foresight Advisory Board, a member of the WEF’s Global Risks Board and the WEF’s Business and Economic Growth Board, and an AI Governance Alliance partner. She served as a delegate in the former U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission, where she advised on the future of technology and international diplomacy.


Webb also collaborates with the creative community to shape how millions of people imagine the future. Webb advises writers, directors and producers on projects for Netflix, Hulu and Marvel, ensuring that the futures portrayed in popular culture reflect plausible science, tech evolution and human possibility.


Ranked the number-three most influential management thinker in the world by Thinkers50, Webb is regarded as one of the most important voices on the future of technology, business and society. Forbes named her “one of the five women changing the world,” and the BBC recognized her among its 100 women of the year.


A prolific author, Webb has written four seminal books, including the international bestseller The Big Nine, which reframed global debates about AI, and The Genesis Machine, named by The New Yorker as one of the year’s best nonfiction works. Her books—translated into 23 languages—are read in boardrooms, classrooms and policy circles around the world; two have been optioned for film.
