Kaihan Krippendorff began his career with McKinsey & Company before founding growth strategy and innovation consulting firm Outthinker. Author of five best-sellers, most recently the Edison Award nominated, Driving Innovation from Within: A Guide for Internal Entrepreneurs.  

A member of the prestigious Thinkers50 radar group and one of the top 8 innovation thought leaders in the world, Kaihan was a finalist for the Thinkers50 Distinguished Achievement Award in Innovation in 2019.  

Amidst a dizzying schedule of keynote speeches, consulting projects, and ongoing research, Kaihan finds time to teach at business schools globally (including NYU, FIU, and UA), write for major media outlets, and play an active role on four advisory boards.
