Rohit Bhargava is on a mission to inspire more non-obvious thinking in the world. He is the 3-time Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of nine books and is widely considered one of the most entertaining and original speakers on trends, innovation and marketing in the world.
Rohit has been invited to deliver sold-out keynotes and workshops in 32 countries around the world to change the way teams and leaders think at the World Bank, NASA, Intel, LinkedIn, MetLife, Under Armour, Univision, Disney and hundreds of other well-known organizations.
Prior to becoming an entrepreneur and founding two companies, he spent 15 years leading brand strategy at Ogilvy and Leo Burnett where he advised global brands on human behavior, marketing and storytelling.
Event planners and audiences have described Rohit as “a rare mix of scary-smart and super engaging,” and “a master at weaving stories together.” Once he was even described as “hilarious, like a social media savvy Robin Williams.” He is the perfect choice when you want to bring a diverse outside perspective from an engaging speaker who has real practical experience with relevance to your industry, a unique point of view, and a delivery style that blends inspiration with action.
Outside his speaking and consulting, Rohit has taught persuasive speaking and global marketing as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, is frequently quoted in the global media and writes a monthly column on trends for GQ magazine in Brazil. Rohit lives in the Washington DC area with his wife and is a proud dad of two boys. He loves the Olympics (he’s been to five!) and actively hates cauliflower.
