Hans Peter Brøndmo is a rare blend of visionary technologist, global innovator, and humanist thinker. With a career that spans over three decades at the forefront of digital transformation, Hans has continuously redefined how technology empowers people. As former Vice President at Google’s X, the Moonshot Factory, and CEO of Everyday Robots, he led groundbreaking work to develop AI-powered robots capable of learning to assist humans in real-world environments. These weren’t just experiments - they were part of a serious mission to reimagine what work, purpose, and productivity could look like in a future where humans and machines coexist. His keynote talks bring this perspective vividly to life, offering a powerful mix of insight, inspiration, and urgency.
Hans has an extraordinary ability to see connections where others don’t. From helping build HyperCard at Apple in Tokyo, to co-founding DiVA, the first company to bring digital video editing to consumers, he has consistently been ahead of the curve. He founded Post Communications, a pioneering personalised email marketing firm that reshaped how businesses communicate with customers - and later sold it in a high-profile acquisition. Hans is also the author of the New York Times bestseller 'The Engaged Customer', and he’s currently working on a follow-up: a timely book exploring what it means to be human in an age of intelligent machines. What sets him apart is not only his technical expertise, but also his deep sense of ethics, curiosity, and creativity.
Raised in Norway and educated at MIT, Hans brings a truly global view to the conversation. He has lived and worked in Tokyo, Berlin, Geneva, San Francisco, and Boston, giving him a uniquely international lens on how innovation can, and must, be inclusive and human-centred. He’s advised policymakers, testified before the US Senate and the FTC, lectured at institutions like MIT and Cambridge, and held senior leadership roles at Nokia, Digital Impact, and venture capital firms. A respected thought leader, Hans has spoken at major conferences on topics ranging from AI ethics and entrepreneurship to privacy and the future of digital identity.
At a time when fears about automation and AI dominate headlines, Hans brings a grounded, hopeful, and deeply human message. He believes robots will not replace us, but help us. They’ll take over repetitive tasks, freeing us to do the creative, meaningful work only humans can. Audiences leave Hans’s talks feeling informed, challenged, and uplifted - ready to rethink their assumptions and embrace the future with clarity and purpose. Whether you’re a CEO, educator, policymaker or student, Hans will shift your perspective and spark ideas that last long after he’s left the stage.
