Biography

Thomas Anglero is a Strategic AI Advisor, keynote speaker, and author of Intro to Artificial Intelligence. He has delivered more than 450 keynotes across over 30 countries for organisations including IBM, the World Health Organization, the World Government Summit, and the European Commission.

Four times in his career, he has stood at the front of a technological shift before it became obvious. In February 1995 he was among the earliest users and beta testers of VocalTec Internet Phone, the first commercial VoIP software. As CEO of Free World Dialup in 2001 he led one of the first peer-to-peer internet telephony ventures, a story he told live on CNN as its Maverick of the Day. In 2017 he founded the IBM Watson AI Lab for Cancer at the Oslo Cancer Cluster, one of the first AI laboratories for cancer on a European cancer campus. In 2025 he built his latest venture with AI agents as the engineering team.

As Nordic CTO and Innovation Officer at Cognizant, he closed over $500 million in enterprise transformation deals. At IBM he served as Nordic Director of Innovation and the global spokesperson for IBM Watson.

Today he advises executive leaders and boards through MerkabaPhi AS in Oslo, and hosts the weekly podcast and newsletter Clarity at the Top. Audiences describe the same thing in different words: every story he tells on stage is one he has lived.

Talks

Each keynote is designed to leave the room changed, and to be the part of your event people remember:

 

When Every Employee Becomes a Leader, Because of AI

How we rewrite the rules of leadership and culture across a company

Audiences leave understanding how AI redistributes authority across an organisation, and what has to change in the culture before it breaks

 

Leading an Organisation on Empty

The new tired, and what AI is doing to the leaders who are actually using it

Audiences leave able to recognise AI-driven decision fatigue in their leadership team, with practical ways to address it before it becomes attrition.

 

The New Executive Mantra: “We Must Be First”

Not being first is the most expensive decision in leadership

Audiences leave understanding why “wait and see” is the costliest position in a time of disruption, and how to move decisively without being reckless.
