Keynote Speaker

Ramy Nassar has cultivated a global reputation for helping leaders stop reacting to disruption — and start designing the future. As the former head of innovation for Mattel, Nassar was key to reimagining one of the world’s most iconic brands, contributing to the production team behind the hit Barbie movie, which grossed $1.5 billion worldwide. Today, he brings that same builder’s mindset to the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technology, equipping audiences with the tools to navigate what’s next with clarity and confidence.

A trusted futurist, Nassar is the author of The AI Product Design Handbook and The World After AI (scheduled for release  inWinter 2026). He has worked with more than 250 organizations — from Apple and TD Bank to TELUS and the Government of Canada — including to develop enterprise AI agents, advise on AI governance, and launch innovation labs focused on real-world implementation.
