Innovation Strategist, AI Ethics Expert & Author

Tom Braekeleirs is a leading authority on transforming corporate creativity into a measurable strategic asset. A visiting professor at Ghent University and a seasoned tech entrepreneur, he specialises in the "human side" of innovation.

He helps global organisations dismantle the risk-averse hierarchies that suppress breakthrough thinking, reframing innovation strategy as a tool for systematic problem-solving. For 92 Speakers’ clients, he provides a sophisticated roadmap for navigating market saturation, ensuring that raw inspiration is successfully translated into commercial reality and sustainable growth.
