Professor Robin Teigland
Dr Digital, Expert on Circular Economy & Blue Tech
Robin Teigland is a globally respected academic, author, and keynote speaker who studies how technology rewrites how organisations coordinate, create value, and distribute power. Her work sits at the intersection of digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies, particularly blockchain and decentralised systems. She examines the organisational consequences of tech: how trust is encoded into systems and how authority shifts outside traditional hierarchies.
Robin explores how digital platforms and Web3 technologies challenge long-held assumptions about leadership, governance, and control. She demonstrates why organisations struggle, not because the technology fails, but because their operating models do. Her research brings clarity to questions of legitimacy, incentives, and collaboration in increasingly networked economies and decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystems.
For senior leadership and board-level audiences, Robin offers intellectual ballast. She helps leaders understand when digital transformation requires more than tools, demanding a total rethink of ownership, decision rights, and how value is shared across business ecosystems. She provides the strategic insights necessary to navigate the future of work and the shift toward decentralised authority.
