Dan Sodergren – Speaker, Technologist, AI Educator and Future of Work Specialist

Dan Sodergren is a keynote speaker, TEDxTalker, author, and former marketing agency owner turned serial tech startup co-founder. A respected voice on technology and its impact on work, Dan specialises in helping organisations understand and adapt to the future shaped by AI, digital transformation, and changing workplace dynamics.

With a career spanning two decades in marketing and tech, Dan has built and exited companies, advised government-backed innovation projects, and trained thousands of professionals in digital skills. Today, he brings that real-world experience to stages, boardrooms, and training rooms across the UK and beyond.

He’s regularly seen on national media, offering expert commentary on technology, data, and digital culture. You’ll often catch him on BBC Breakfast, BBC News, The One Show, Watchdog, Rip Off Britain, and BBC Radio. Whether explaining AI to a general audience or breaking down tech trends for policy discussions, Dan has a gift for making complex ideas clear and relatable.

What makes Dan stand out is the way he connects marketing, mindset, and emerging tech. His talks focus on how the #FifthIndustrialRevolution — the blend of human values and intelligent machines — is reshaping industries. He doesn’t deal in hype. Instead, he explains how AI and the future of work affect real people, real businesses, and the wider economy.

Dan is also co-founder of several tech companies, including an edtech startup that helps adults reskill for the digital economy, and a platform tackling bias in recruitment through data. His experience building and scaling startups gives him a unique angle — combining hands-on business knowledge with deep insight into future trends.

He’s trained leaders at companies ranging from local SMEs to global brands. Whether working with senior teams or speaking to packed theatres, he brings warmth, humour, and real-world relevance. It’s not theory — it’s lived experience, informed by his time in the marketing trenches and startup world.

Dan is also a published author, with books on AI, mindset and future skills available via https://futureofwork.gumroad.com/. His latest work explores how individuals and companies can thrive as automation accelerates and remote work becomes standard.

He’s particularly interested in the role of mindset — how humans can stay curious, adaptable, and emotionally intelligent in an age of algorithms. That human-centric message sits at the core of all his talks and training: the future of work isn’t just about tech — it’s about people.

When he’s not on stage or in a studio, Dan mentors startups, works on digital inclusion projects, and runs online courses via www.aimarketingcourse.co.uk. You can find more about him at www.dansodergren.com or follow him on Twitter @dansodergren.
