Nathaniel Calhoun Travels from Auckland, NZ
Nathaniel Calhoun specializes in the intersection of exponential technologies, business strategy, and pressing global issues.
He combines insights from centers of executive decision-making and innovation (like Silicon Valley) and the world’s most challenging environments (like post-conflict countries or world regions destabilized by food insecurity). As a global thought leader in the ever-changing world of technology, he explains what the rapid change in technologies means for business, government, and society, providing insights into how we prepare and cope with the challenges and embrace the change.
Nathaniel has spent two decades in some of the world’s most challenging and fastest-growing economies. He consults with governments, development banks, and international organizations to design and foster innovations (and policies) that change how marketplaces work. His emphasis on economic resilience and a desirable future of work make his content especially relevant in the times of COVID-19.
Nathaniel helps to guide the Singularity University based in San Francisco in its approach to change-making and impact as a Co-Chair of its Global Grand Challenge Faculty.
He co-founded Code Innovation in 2009, which owns and operates the largest digital platform for women’s savings groups in the world. This work has been supported by UNICEF, the Gates Foundation, the British Government, and a variety of private donors.
Nathaniel has customised keynotes, and workshops, focusing on governance, ethics, and new approaches to leveraging social technologies. He advises a number of start-ups that work in artificial intelligence, robotics, conservation, and inclusion. He has moderated and keynoted at events of up to 4,000 people on every continent but Antarctica and streamed live, nationwide in more than a dozen countries.
