Bio

Full Bio

Josh Klein is a passionate hacker of all things. He examines systems, he takes them apart, and he puts different pieces together to produce something new and more effective. He hacks. Everything. His list includes social systems, computer networks, institutions, consumer hardware, animal behavior, and many more. Josh knows that the greatest innovations come from rethinking ordinary situations, or hacking; a do-it-yourself movement with roots inside the engineering community.

Josh started as a technology hacker in his parent’s basement and ended up working with leaders at the upper echelon of business, government, and internet security. Along the way it became clear that a tipping point in new technology was changing commerce as we knew it in a myriad of ways.

Josh is currently the cohost of Built for Change, a podcast by Accenture, made in collaboration with T Brand Studio at the New York Times. Josh and his co-host journalist Elise Hu have transformative conversations with industry leaders, as they discuss the seismic shifts in technology, the growing importance of sustainability, the marriage of purpose and profit — and more.

Josh is also the Founder of Indigometrics, the first online culture metrics platform to measure what people do, not how they feel. Employees use it to target their own growth within their teams. Leaders use it to nurture winning culture. Companies use it to compete in increasingly dynamic markets.

From black market economies to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, from the radical departures in exchange and marketing enabled by Big Data to the as-yet-unrealized impact of 3D printing and the Internet of Things, Josh has specialized in translating technology insights into actionable strategies for business leaders. READ LESS ^
