Tom Koulopoulos is Chairman and Founder of the Delphi Group, a Boston-based think tank he has led for more than 35 years, recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. He is also the founding partner of Acrovantage Ventures, investing in early-stage technology companies shaping the future of work, healthcare, and enterprise innovation.
An author of fifteen books, inventor with multiple patents, and longtime Inc.com columnist, Tom brings more than four decades of firsthand experience at the intersection of technology, business, and human behavior. He has served as Executive Director of the Babson College Center for Business Innovation, Director of the Dell Innovation Lab, and as a professor at Boston University—giving him a rare ability to translate complex technical realities into strategic insight that resonates equally with engineers, operators, and CEOs.
Tom’s thinking has been praised by some of the most influential voices in modern management. Peter Drucker regarded his work as essential reading, and Tom Peters called his writing “a brilliant vision of where enterprises must go to survive and thrive.” Tom’s Inc. column reaches more than one million readers annually.
His books include Gigatrends, which explores the six technology forces reshaping how we live, work, and compete, and his forthcoming book, The Mirror: Finding Meaning and Purpose in the Age of AI, an examination of what intelligent systems reveal about leadership, values, and ourselves.
Known for keynotes that engage, entertain, and enlighten, Tom blends humor, storytelling, and sharp insight to connect with audiences ranging from hardcore technologists to senior executives. As Peter Drucker once said of Tom’s work, it doesn’t just challenge how you run your business—it challenges how you run yourself.
