Alf Rehn - Moderator
Alf Rehn - Moderator
We are thrilled and honored to have Alf onboard as the host of Creative Summit. He’s usually the rockstar keynote speaker, but we thought we’d take him out of his comfort zone and force him to be creative ;-) When you meet him, buy the man a decent cognac and thank him for gracing the summit! Born in Finland, but raised in more than a dozen places. Currently lives in both Finland and Denmark, as well as in a range of hotel rooms and airport lounges around the world.

Alf is a management professor, an internationally recognized business thinker, an author and a speaker. He is currently holding the Chair of Management and Organization at Åbo Akademi University in Finland, was earlier the SSES Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and has in addition taught at universities all over the globe.

As a business thinker, Alf has been called an "enfant terrible of organization studies", while the venerable The Times called him a "star of the future". The 2009 Thinkers 50, the listing of the world's top 50 business thinkers, included him on their "Guru Radar", ranking him #13 among the "Up and Coming Business Thinkers". His mother thinks he's pretty neat as well, but his kids really can't see what all the fuss is about.

As a business writer, Alf has published a wide range of academic books and articles, but also a series of books, articles, columns and thoughtpapers for a general audience. Among his upcoming books are Dangerous Ideas – an alternative take on creativity and business – and A Taste of Leadership, which deals with how we can learn management and leadership from the great chefs.

Alf works frequently as a speaker at various events, ranging from keynoting major conferences or events for global corporations, to giving interactive sessions and workshops for smaller groups. He has talked at spas, in converted barns, after saunas, and was once bookended by a star of musical theater and an astronaut.
