Faculty, Singularity University

Brett is an education architect and storyteller for the future. He leads a global research lab on the future of learning and serves on the faculty of Singularity University, where he has led global K12 initiatives and speaks on the business and social implications of technological disruption. Early in his career, Brett spent nearly a decade in international development as head of an NGO working in global security, weapons reduction, and civil society. His work since has included lecturing at a private university in Russia, publishing research on the evolution of human psychology through periods of social change, and launching educational programs that have reached more than a million people in over 75 countries. Brett recently launched his first book for kids to solve global challenges and is currently designing the Museum of Solutions, a new 10-story children’s problem-solving museum being built in central Mumbai.

I’m most excited to work on projects that… connect uncommon collaborators around a powerful vision for the future.

I’m looking for partners that can help me with… leveraging and enhancing the capacity of the Singularity University community to apply technology to global issues.

A moment when I felt most inspired in my work was… any moment at the end of an undertaking that required dozens of hands to make happen, when we could recall the birth of an idea and know we had seen it through to completion.

Innovations in my field I’m most excited to work on… solutions for dynamic governance and citizen-driven innovation.
