Robert Safian
Highlighting The Future Of Business
Who am I
Robert Safian is one of the most
sought-after speakers, moderators, and interviewers in the modern business.
From leadership positions at Fast Company, Time, Fortune and Money,
to incisive analysis across multiple TV networks, podcasts and digital
platforms, Safian has been lauded as an unparalleled source of insight on the
future of the global enterprise. He is not only among the most acclaimed
publishing executives in history but has deep relationships across the C-suite
in multiple industries, accessing the cutting-edge developments that are
reshaping our world.
For decades Safian has chronicled thousands
of odds-defying organizations and leaders, uncovering their secrets of success.
He synthesizes their lessons into eye-opening and thoroughly entertaining
presentations filled with compelling storytelling. He is warm and approachable,
and an expert at working with event organizers to personalize his
presentations for each audience. Whether assessing a startup in Detroit, the
tech scene in Palo Alto or an iconoclast in Shanghai, Safian is constantly
translating what is next and new to the mainstream. By presenting stories of
the people behind innovative business thinking, he provides hope to millions of
talented professionals, entrepreneurs and leaders that meaningful change is
possible.
Safian has been propelled by a reputation
for near-clairvoyant prediction. He was the first editor to put Facebook's Mark
Zuckerberg on a magazine cover and covered Airbnb, Netflix and Uber long before
they were household names. For nearly twelve years he led the
influential, award-winning business magazine Fast Company, turning it into
the world's leading progressive business media brand. He was named
Editor of the Year by Adweek, and earned the highly coveted National
Magazine Award for Magazine of the Year in 2014, beating out rivals
including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times
Magazine and more.
Prior to Fast Company, Safian was the
executive editor for Time and Fortune and headed Money as
its chief editor for six years. He is a frequent guest on CBS, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC
and other TV networks.
His latest projects include The Flux Group, an
advisory firm that is driving awareness of new business practices to both
individual companies and mass-market audiences; The Flux Network, a special
invitation-only community of leading thinkers, creative collaborators and idea
generators; and a highly-anticipated forthcoming book on the reinvention
of business that is identifying how leaders at all levels can best adapt and
thrive in today’s high-flux environments and turn disruption to their
advantage.
Safian has also built a reputation as one
of today’s top interviewers, conducting onstage dialogues with many of the
world's most intriguing leaders including the CEOs of Starbucks, Nike, Target,
Ford, Pepsico, Pixar, Walmart.com, Chobani, Under Armour, J Crew, Soulcycle,
Casper, Pinterest, Warby Parker and more, plus celebrities including Kate
Hudson, Serena Williams, Chelsea Clinton, Princess Reema Bint Bandar of Saudi
Arabia, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jordan
Spieth, Jared Leto, Alicia Keys and more. He has been a keynote presenter at
events ranging from SxSW Interactive to the United Nation's Global Accelerators
Council, the National Retail Federation's "Big Show" to the Cannes
Lions Advertising Festival, HSM Brazil to The World Congress on Intelligent
Transport.
In addition to all of Safian's wide
experiences, pool of knowledge, and deft storytelling skills, he is also warm,
approachable, and an expert at working with event organizers to
personalize his presentations for each audience.
