Tristan Harris
Co-Founder, Center for Humane Technology, Former Design Ethicist, Google
Tristan Harris works at the point where technology shapes behaviour at scale. His experience spans Silicon Valley and global policy conversations, focusing on how digital systems influence decision-making, attention and trust.
His perspective centres on how environments are designed, not just experienced. He looks at how incentives, platforms and internal systems shape what people prioritise, how they engage and what ultimately gets acted on. His work challenges organisations to move beyond stated values, reframing culture, ESG and employee voice as outcomes of system design rather than intention.
