In this episode of The Evolving Leader, Sara Deschamps facilitates a fascinating conversation between Evolving Leader co-host Jean Gomes and author and Google's first and former Chief innovation evangelist Frederik G. Pferdt. Frederik is on a mission to empower everyone to fulfil their visions for the future from shaping Google’s fabled creative culture as Chief Innovation Evangelist to nurturing the minds of students at Stanford University’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design where he teaches graduate courses such as ‘Hacking Your Innovation Mindset’.
Frederik’s book ‘What’s Next Is Now, How To Live Future Ready’ was published by Harper Collins in 2024.
