Ashkan Fardost

Sweden, the late 90’s, a quiet Stockholm suburb. A teen who dreams of being a music producer has just gotten his hands on the first piece of production software capable of rivaling a professional setup. At the time, he is a weirdo – listening to trance, claiming to make music while sitting quietly in his room, refused by every label who gets his demo CDs in the mail. Then, Napster happens.Ashkan Fardost has not only lived the evolution of the internet, but seen it through angles few else have. From aspiring teen creator to semi-hacker to music producer working with the greats, from a PhD in organic chemistry to collaborations with Hyper Island and the Stockholm tech scene, to the starting-up of Oddball Ventures, and from this diverse portfolio to TEDx and a nomination for Sweden’s Speaker of the Year 2017, Ashkan is set apart by his insights into the internet as a psychological, sociological and anthropological phenomenon that changes the entire dynamic of the world.Ashkan Fardost’s unique macro perspective provides a deep understanding of the future of organizations, companies and societies in our ever-faster changing world. His topics can be tailored for a wide variety of audiences, including but not limited to those who specialize in leadership, innovation, culture, education and social progress.
