Book Thomas Anglero for your event
Thomas Anglero is one of the most experienced voices in Europe when it comes to AI transformation, executive leadership, and innovation at scale. His career has been built inside the very changes now redefining industries, leadership teams, and boardrooms across the world.
He founded the IBM Watson AI Lab for Cancer at the Oslo Cancer Cluster — Europe’s first AI lab embedded within a dedicated cancer research campus. The initiative helped build a $200M+ AI pipeline focused on accelerating research and innovation through artificial intelligence. The project became an early example of how AI could move beyond theory and create measurable impact inside complex organizations.
Later, as Nordic CTO at Cognizant, Thomas led AI strategy across the Nordic region and worked closely with enterprise leaders navigating large-scale digital transformation. During this time, he contributed to more than $500M in enterprise transformation deals, helping organizations rethink operations, strategy, and leadership in an increasingly AI-driven world.
He also redesigned how Norway’s Tax Authority approached technology-driven innovation, bringing new perspectives on public sector transformation and organizational adaptability.
Today, Thomas works independently through MerkabaPhi AS in Oslo as a Strategic AI Advisor to executive leaders and boards. His work focuses on what happens when AI is no longer treated as a technology project, but becomes part of how an organization fundamentally operates. His keynotes explore the leadership challenges, strategic shifts, and human implications that emerge when AI changes decision-making, culture, and execution.
AI beyond technology
Thomas Anglero approaches AI differently from many technology speakers. His talks are not centered around hype, tools, or abstract future predictions. Instead, he focuses on the deeper transformation taking place inside organizations and leadership teams.
He helps audiences understand:
- How AI changes decision-making structures
- Why leadership models must evolve alongside technology
- What separates AI experimentation from true transformation
- How organizations can build clarity during uncertainty
- Why human judgment becomes more important in an AI-driven world
His presentations combine strategic insight with practical experience from enterprise transformation, healthcare innovation, public sector modernization, and global advisory work.
Global experience and executive perspective
Thomas has delivered more than 450 keynotes across 30+ countries. His experience spans international conferences, executive summits, boardroom sessions, and leadership events for both public and private organizations.
He has spoken for organizations including:
- IBM
- WHO
- World Governments Summit in Dubai
- European Commission in Brussels
Audiences value his ability to explain complex technological and organizational shifts in a way that feels relevant, clear, and actionable. His style is reflective, thought-provoking, and grounded in real leadership experience.
Because Thomas has worked directly inside large transformation initiatives, he understands the pressures executives face when balancing innovation, risk, speed, and long-term strategy.
Leadership in the age of AI
A central theme in Thomas Anglero’s work is the connection between technology and human leadership. He explores how AI challenges not only systems and workflows, but also identity, trust, culture, and leadership behavior.
His current work includes the weekly Clarity at the Top newsletter and podcast, created for executive leaders navigating AI transformation. Here, he shares insights on strategy, organizational change, and leadership in times of uncertainty.
He also hosts the Soul of Innovation podcast, featuring more than 250 episodes exploring technology, leadership, innovation, and human potential.
This combination of strategic depth and human insight makes Thomas a strong fit for leadership conferences, executive retreats, innovation events, AI summits, and board-level discussions.
Author and trusted advisor
Thomas is also the author of Intro to Artificial Intelligence published on Amazon. Through his advisory work, speaking engagements, and content platforms, he continues to help organizations and leaders make sense of rapid technological change without losing sight of the human side of transformation.
