Burrus is an innovative entrepreneur who has founded six businesses, four of which were the U.S. national leaders in the first year.
His accurate predictions date back to the early 1980s where he became the first and only futurist to accurately identify the twenty exponential technologies that would become the driving force of business and economic growth for decades to come. Since then, he has continued to establish a worldwide reputation for his exceptional record of predicting the future of technology-driven change and its direct impact on the business world.
“The more you find what is unique in you and leverage it, the more power you have.”
