When companies like Microsoft, FedEx, and 3M want to accelerate their digital transformation journey, they call Andrew Au. Digital technology has set a new equilibrium for organizations — from how they engage their customers to how they motivate their employees to how they innovate their products and services. This is where Au excels — he brings both substance and style to navigating disruption and future-proofing organizations, powered by big data and transformative ideas. 

Referred to by Forbes as a “millennial expert,” Au is a modern business leader who helps global blue-chip brands respond to the new culture and nature of work. Through his innovative work, he was the youngest person to be inducted into the Entrepreneurs Organization at the age of 22. He is among the few Canadians to be named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list and has received over 35 domestic and international awards for business innovation and thought leadership.

Au has delivered dynamic keynotes, interactive workshops and custom research studies for a diverse set of organizations including Microsoft, Avison Young, Sun Life Financial, Harley Davidson, Intuit and a wide variety of trade associations. He shares his dynamic perspectives on leadership and emerging technology trends in the media, podcasts and on stages around the world.

Au is the co-founder of Intercept, a strategic management consultancy based in Toronto and Boston. He is also the president of Scopium AI, a healthcare startup developing a patented cognitive platform focused on improving patient care and reducing medical costs using artificial intelligence.
