He advises senior leaders worldwide on how to navigate disruption and harness emerging technologies for strategic advantage. ## Biography As Executive Editor of Exponential View, Greg now sits at the epicentre of the global conversation about AI and exponential technology. Exponential View is the publication that the world’s most influential decision-makers across business, finance, technology, policy and research turn to when they want deep analysis and frameworks, not noise – and Greg shapes that agenda. He came to that role after nearly a decade as Editor of WIRED, where he became one of the industry’s most respected and awarded editors, winning BSME Editor of the Year for Science and Technology four times (2017, 2019, 2020 and 2024). During that time he built an unrivalled record as an interviewer of global leaders – from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis to Prime Ministers Blair, May and Johnson, and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla – giving him a rare, ground-level understanding of how technology is reshaping organisations and power at the very top. Greg has spoken at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the UN AI for Good conference, Web Summit, Viva Tech, Cannes Lions, the World Governments Summit and dozens of leading events across the world, and delivered presentations to private clients globally. He is Chair of the 2026 Orwell Prize for Journalism. His book Code, Capital, Power: How Big Tech Companies Redefined Markets, Reshaped Global Order and Are Transforming Society in Their Image will be published in 2027. *Compiled by London Speaker Bureau, an official representative for Greg Williams.
