Speaker Bio

Jeremy Gutsche
Founder of Trendhunter.com

TrendHunter.com is one of the largest, most influential trend-spotting websites in the world. Its founder, Jeremy Gutsche, relentlessly tracks and finds The Next Big Thing -- that valuable but elusive commodity -- for a global audience that generates over three million views a month. The Guardian calls him "a new breed of trend-spotter" -- a creative, globe-roaming individual with a broad appeal that stretches from The Economist, which has sourced him, to MTV, which places him at "the forefront of cool."

With phenomenal speed, Gutsche has grown Trendhunter into a trusted showcase for "what's next" in marketing, design, technology, and other categories. The site's been featured or cited in over 40,000 articles, and Gutsche has appeared everywhere from Entertainment Tonight to the BBC. He's also sought out by leading companies to speak on cool-hunting, innovation, marketing strategies, The Next Big Thing and its relevance to their business. In bold, interactive keynotes, he delivers a blend of viral new trends, strategic frameworks, and a contagious enthusiasm for innovation. He possesses a unique perspective on innovation in the business context, and draws on his background in both corporate strategy and Web 2.0 to provide you with inspiration and tools to generate ideas, stimulate creativity and unlock potential.

At 28, as one of Capital One's youngest Business Directors, Gutsche led his team to grow a billion dollar portfolio of market leading products. And as a Management Consultant for the Monitor Group, he advised Fortune 50 clients on top level strategy. He holds an MBA from Queen's, is a CFA, and studied innovation at Stanford's Graduate School of Business.
