Leonard Brody - Multi-Exit Entrepreneur | Business and Technology Visionary
Called a “a leader of the new world order”, Leonard Brody was recently named one of top 30 management thinkers in the world. He is an award-winning entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and bestselling author, and a two-time Emmy-nominated media visionary. Brody has helped raise hundreds of millions in capital for startup companies, taken a company to a six billion market cap IPO, and been involved in the founding and successful exit of numerous companies to date. In his compelling, customized talks — with clients ranging from the United Nations to Visa and Pepsi — Brody addresses the rapid pace of change, innovation, and disruption facing us all, and what to do about it.
After selling his company in 2009, Brody became the president of the Innovation and Digital Group for the Anschutz Company, one of the largest live sport and entertainment businesses in the world. The company owns assets such as the O2 Arena in London and Staples Center in LA; sports teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Galaxy, and the Los Angeles Kings; and is one of the premiere concert promotion businesses in the world, seating hundreds of millions of people a year.
Today, Brody is the co-founder and executive chairman of Caravan, a joint venture with CAA (Creative Artists Agency), the largest sports and entertainment agency in the world. He oversees the building of new ventures for some of the most well-known celebrities and political leaders in the world like Carrie Underwood, Tom Hanks, and President Joe Biden. Brody is also one of the proud owners of the professional soccer team Coventry City in England.
Brody is also working on a new book in partnership with Forbes magazine entitled The Great Re:Write. It is based on the successful documentary series Brody and Forbes produced, which garnered an audience of over 7 million in the last year. He holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts from Queens University, a law degree from Osgoode Hall, and is a graduate of the Private Equity Program at the Harvard Business School
The Next 730 Days: What to Expect in Technology, the Economy, and the Future of Work
We are living in a unique moment in history, when revolutionary change in all sectors is occurring at a frenzied pace.
History has shown that we can only accurately predict two years ahead, or 730 days. So, while many are sharing their 5, 10, 15, 20-year forecasts, often with conflicting ideas and notions, this keynote is your antidote. A clear, narrow-focused exploration of the forces shaping our near future and how leaders and organizations can better prepare for it.
Award-winning business and technology visionary Leonard Brody provides a data and research-driven look at this next critical period in technology, the economy, and the future of work, while also sharing proven best practices. This includes an in-depth exploration and analysis of:
- The secret to an economic and technological pattern that has repeated itself over the last 300 years. Learn how to recognize and manage against it.
- The future of work and retaining talent, including the myth of the Great Resignation and the future of the office.
- The next chapter of AI and blockchain and its immediate applicability.
- The next two years of the economy and the drivers behind it.
The event will also include Dhillon School of Business students, offering a unique opportunity to engage with emerging professionals.
