Laurent is an entrepreneur, event designer and researcher passionate about understanding how technological innovation is reshaping society and culture. His work is about identifying and understanding upcoming shifts, spreading the word via conferences and social media, and ultimately to help turn changes into opportunities.

He is the founder and CEO of the Lift Conference (three days events in Europe and Asia to discuss the social implications of technologies), the co-founder and CEO of Lift Lab (a boutique consulting practice doing research projects), and also a blogger, start-up adviser, and way-too-frequent-flyer attending conferences around the globe as a speaker or moderator.

After growing up in France and graduating from the university of Lausanne, he spent most of my early career developing and implementing technological solutions to solve business problems, first in a start-up, then at Arthur Andersen and Pictet. He maintains a disclosure page where you can find information on all of the activities he is involved in.
