Personal Details

Bio

Andrew Chakhoyan is an alumnus of the global leadership program of the World Economic Forum, and he is a widely recognized thought leader on exponential technologies, societal trust in business, and public policy in tech. Andrew holds a Master of Public Administration degree from Harvard and is a regular contributor to several publications: WEF Agenda, Futurism, and NewCo Shift.

He is a mentor to a number of startups and also provides coaching advice to senior executives of Fortune 500 corporations on corporate diplomacy. Andrew strongly believes that your company’s strategic narrative must drive decision-making and not the other way around. A deft and passionate keynote speaker, Andrew is also a skilful moderator who had hosted panel conversations around the world, from Davos to Dalian and from Bratislava to Barcelona. Andrew’s contribution, as a panel discussant, was sought by the world’s leading global conferences, such as The Economist, Web Summit, OECD, TNW, WEF, TEDx, etc.

Andrew Chakhoyan is a trisector leader, who has served in the U.S. Government working on international economic development, pushed for stronger global cooperation in the nonprofit sector, and tried himself in a corporate world. His first job out of college was a barista at Starbucks and a part-time math professor at a community college.

Innovate or die. But where do you start?

“The key to management is to get rid of the managers,” advised Ricardo Semler, whose TED Talk went viral, introducing terms such as “industrial democracy” and “corporate re-engineering”. It’s important to point out that Mr. Semler isn’t an academic or an expert in management theory, he is the CEO of a successful industrial company. His views are unlikely to represent mainstream thinking on organizational design. But perhaps it is time we redefine the term “manager”, and question whether the idea of “management” as it was inherited from the industrial era, has outlived its usefulness.

A reflection on global megatrends and what it means for each one of us, for the companies where we work, and the countries where we live.

The digital commons: the future of business and the business of the future.

Have you ever wondered how much public trust in the Tech Sector is worth? Now we know. It is at least half a trillion dollars — the amount of losses spanning the two weeks following the first revelations in the Cambridge Analytica scandal. With so much value at stake, this is a moment of reckoning for the giants of the Silicon Valley. It is also our chance to reimagine how the digital commons are organized and administered.

Artificial Intelligence: The Good, The Bad, and The Unfathomable

If the future is no longer predictable, is it still imaginable?
No stranger to controversy, a Tony Stark reincarnate — Elon Musk — came out with an ominous prediction recently. “Forget North Korea, AI will start World War III” read the CNN headline. Elon Musk is not alone in fearing unintended consequences of the race to develop algorithms that we may or may not be able to control. Once a new technology is introduced it can’t be uninvented — Sam Harris points out in his viral TED talk. He argues that it’ll be impossible to halt the pace of progress, even if humankind could collectively make such a decision.
While Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking and countless others are broadly on the same page with Musk and Harris, some of the leading thinkers recognize that AI, like any other technology, is value-neutral. Gunpowder, after all, was first used in fireworks.

Testimonials (2)
  • At The Next Web conference in Amsterdam (TNW 2019), Andrew hosted a roundtable focusing on trust: how could business earn it and what it takes to sustain it. The session was truly engaging. Trust is a core topic for me and my team, and the insights I’ve gotten from Andrew’s presentation were immediately applicable.

  • Andrew delivered a topical and very engaging keynote to a packed room at the South Summit 2019 in Madrid, on our "The Next Big Thing" stage. The insights he brought were unique and compelling, and his presentation delivery was world-class. He mixed humor, facts, and creativity in his words to create an equally enriching as entertaining talk. Most importantly, though, we've appreciated Andrew's authenticity and ability to connect with the audience.
