# The Future-Proof Leader

Strategic foresight in an age of disruption

What if your biggest risks are not today’s challenges, but tomorrow’s blind spots?

The Future-Proof Leader is a keynote or workshop by Ramy Nassar, a Canadian futurist, author and keynote speaker and the former Head of Innovation at Mattel, built for strategy and corporate development teams, board meetings and retreats, planning offsites. Keynotes run 30 to 90 minutes and workshops 90 minutes to a full day, in person or virtually, in English, French, or German.

In a world defined by disruption and accelerating technology, leaders can no longer rely on linear planning. Ramy equips them with practical foresight tools to anticipate disruption and turn uncertainty into opportunity. Through engaging stories and proven frameworks, participants shift from reaction to proactive strategy, and leave with a repeatable method for seeing disruption before competitors do.
