Dex Hunter-Torricke
Dex Hunter-Torricke is a keynote speaker who draws on senior roles at Google, Meta, Facebook and SpaceX to offer rare, first-hand insight into the digital forces shaping our future. With a career spent advising some of the most powerful leaders and organisations in the world, he gives audiences a clear, insider perspective on how decisions in technology, politics and business are really made, and what they mean in practice.
He has also worked at the United Nations, shaping communications and public policy at moments of global significance. Along the way, he has advised leaders including Eric Schmidt, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, as well as founders and policymakers across the US and Europe. At Facebook, he operated at the centre of one of the most influential companies in the world, helping to navigate intense global scrutiny while shaping how the company communicated its role in society. This breadth of experience allows him to connect the dots between innovation, influence and impact in a way that resonates with senior audiences.
What makes Dex particularly compelling on stage is his ability to translate complexity into clarity. Drawing on two decades inside global institutions, he explains how artificial intelligence is reshaping economies, societies and power structures, without jargon or hype. His talks are grounded, engaging and immediately relevant, helping organisations understand not just what is coming, but how to respond with confidence.
In 2025, Dex stepped away from Big Tech to focus on the wider societal challenges created by rapid technological change. In 2026, he founded the Center for Tomorrow, a global non-profit working on the social and economic impacts of AI. Through this work, he collaborates with governments, businesses and civil society to develop practical approaches to one of the defining issues of our time: how to ensure the benefits of AI are widely shared.
He is also a The New York Times bestselling ghostwriter and a frequent commentator on the social impact of technology. His perspective is informed by direct experience at the centre of global decision-making, but delivered with a human, accessible tone that connects with diverse audiences.
Based in London and regularly travelling to New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., Dex Hunter-Torricke speaks to leaders who need to navigate uncertainty and make informed decisions in a rapidly changing world. His keynotes leave audiences better equipped to understand the dynamics of AI, anticipate what comes next and act with clarity.
