The Visionary of the Future of Work
Martin Wezowski is a global futurist, strategist, and CEO of Future Hub, a foresight and innovation powerhouse redefining how we understand the future of work, leadership, and technology. With a background spanning construction engineering, design, and media technology, Martin combines analytical precision with creative storytelling. His career includes pivotal roles at Sony, Huawei, and a decade as Chief Futurist at SAP, where he built the company’s foresight and innovation ecosystem from the ground up.
As the founder of Future Hub, Martin leads a network of global experts focused on exploring and creating what’s next for work, innovation, and human-tech collaboration. His goal: to “know and show what’s next” by crafting products, platforms, and narratives that shape how humans and intelligent systems co-exist in an age of exponential change.
Leading from the Future
Martin teaches leaders to “lead from the future”, a mindset that transforms how organizations think, act, and evolve. He draws on over 20 years in global innovation, from directing stealth projects at SONY and Huawei to guiding executive foresight programs at SAP. His frameworks and lectures reveal how businesses can cultivate “ambidexterity”: balancing operational excellence with transformative innovation. This approach allows organizations to thrive today while preparing for tomorrow, building resilient cultures ready to face constant change.
Martin emphasizes that innovation is not just about technology; it’s about people, culture, and community. Future leaders, he argues, must master empathy, creativity, and systems thinking to navigate the intersection of human values and digital possibilities.
The Human-Tech Symbiosis
At the heart of Martin’s philosophy is the concept of the “HuMachine”, an empathic symbiosis between human ingenuity and machine intelligence. He envisions a future where technology is not a replacement for humanity but an amplifier of it. This collaboration challenges us to rethink what it means to work, create, and lead.
Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, and decentralization are not merely tools in his view; they are catalysts for redesigning how we live, learn, and connect. In a time when “now” has never been so temporary, Martin inspires audiences to use these technologies to build trust, meaning, and purpose in the digital age.
Culture, Purpose, and Change
Martin believes that successful innovation begins with empathy and culture. Sustainable growth demands more than processes, it requires human connection and purpose. His talks guide leaders to balance creativity and strategy through key focus areas:
Human-centered innovation: Building organizations that place people and purpose before profit.
Cultural intelligence: Creating inclusive, collaborative environments that nurture curiosity and belonging.
Resilient leadership: Developing teams that thrive through uncertainty and continuous change.
Systemic awareness: Understanding how social, ecological, and economic systems interact in the future of work.
Balanced transformation: Merging operational excellence with experimentation to sustain long-term success.
He also explores how emerging technologies redefine value, ownership, and even democracy. Martin challenges audiences to ask: What is human in a superhuman future? What is work when intelligence is shared between humans and machines?
