Biography

Dr. Beau Lotto is a world-renowned neuroscientist, three-time mainstage TED speaker and entrepreneur. He is the founder of Evolvable.Me – the first AI-powered platform that measures and supports personal evolution, and Lab of Misfits, the world’s first neuro-design studio that applies scientific insight to real-world challenges as well as founding Ripple, the first GPS-based AR app which holds essential patents in the AR space and Beautiful Mind Learning Labs, a school and education program that led to the youngest published scientist in the world.

For over 30 years, Beau has investigated how the human brain and cultures adapt to uncertainty. His work extends far beyond the lab, collaborating with organisations including Google, Adobe, Microsoft, Cirque du Soleil, and L’Oréal to translate neuroscience into powerful tools for creativity and leadership.

What makes Dr. Lotto’s work unique is its scope and spirit. He conducts experiments not just in laboratories, but in boardrooms, classrooms, and even remote communities, wherever perception and possibility meet. His mission: to help people and organisations see differently, turning uncertainty into a driver of innovation, resilience and growth.

Beau’s keynote is an unforgettable journey, blending deep experience with immersive storytelling to leave audiences not just informed, but transformed. Every moment is crafted to spark joy, insight, and revelation, drawing participants into a highly interactive and engaging experience. Attendees don’t just walk away with knowledge; they carry a tangible sense of understanding, inspiration, and feeling that lingers long after the session ends.

“Beau Lotto has the rare ability to connect cutting-edge neuroscience to the real challenges of leadership, culture, and innovation. The result is transformational.” Global Head of People, Adobe 
“Beau doesn’t just talk about change. He makes you feel it, see it, and want to live it.”  Senior VP, Google
“One of the most mind-opening experiences I’ve ever had as a leader. You leave different from how you came in.“ CEO, Fortune 500 company
“Beau Lotto is brilliant. He did an astonishing presentation at Conarec 2021, the World's largest CX event, at November 10th, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. His approach about mind-set, perceptions and beliefs, and how we should understand the biases of our mind have been so hard to manage , that we need to change our stories and narratives to engage customers. It was incredibly valuable for CX leaders and CEOs of hundreds of companies that attend Conarec. Finally, he shared a quote that defined why we need to restore our socialization after pandemic: "The brain is social. And this was absolutely important to the evolution of human race". Thanks, Beau. Brazilian executives really appreciate your insights.” Executive Director of Knowledge, Conarec Group
“Beau artfully challenged the perceptions of a large group of very knowledgeable and accomplished leaders. He is eloquent, humorous, and incredibly gifted at reframing people’s assumptions about what is true and what is possible, through a neuroscientific lens. Beau is the best speaker I’ve seen for helping leaders adopt the right mindset for transformation work.” SVP Global Talent Strategy & Development at Warner Music Group
“Beau’s incredible session created a transformational state in the audience of leaders. In three hours, he provided the group dozens of new ways to think differently about their problems, how to successfully innovate and build effective teams. Beau wonderfully integrates neuroscience, psychology and perennial wisdom into an inspiring and practical set of powerful takeaways. He is one of best speakers we’ve ever seen.” CEO of The Energy Project (after a Masterclass for the Senior Executives of Warner Music)
"Thank you kindly for blowing the socks off our participants, and frankly, my colleagues and the head of Metro Vancouver (both CEO and politicians). Well done! You were ‘outside’ the box of the kind of keynotes we typically have for our Zero Waste Conference – and I felt you were going to offer just the right antidote to the crazy fear and uncertainty everyone has been feeling over the past few months. You were an answer to our uncertainty – and literally. Some of my colleagues and our regional government leadership were uncertain whether we should have someone that was not deeply rooted in the CE/Waste prevention issue. Wow, talk about everyone coming full circle into ‘certainty.’ People loved your presentation. Wish you could see some of the chat." Senior Policy Advisor, Metro Vancouver and the National Zero Waste Council
“Beau was great to work with – very creative, highly ambitious and with incredible energy. His communications skills are quite something to behold: when dealing with the volunteers from the public for the experiment, he held them in the palm of his hand and infected them with his enthusiasm. Respected by his peers and looked up to by his students he is someone who people like to listen to and learn from. I’d love the chance to work with him again.” BBC
"We cannot thank you enough for joining us at Deals Exchange. Both our clients and Partners raved about your session. In addition to your presentation, we sincerely appreciate the fact that you joined the first day of our program and took advantage of listening to our content. It was evident that you proactively tailored your content based off of what you heard -- which no one does anymore. So, THANK YOU!" PriceWaterhouseCooper’s senior M&N Team
"Beau Lotto's keynote presentation at the 2022 CANARIE Summit had the same effect as filling the room with super-oxygenated air -- it energized and engaged every single person in that room and created the perfect context for our guests to learn and unlearn in meaningful ways. Beau's combination of scientific expertise, understanding of the power of cultural touchstones, thought-provoking (in the truest sense) messages, tremendous energy, and personal warmth combined to create a keynote presentation that seeded ongoing conversations for days afterwards. If your intention is to have your audience think about how they think in order to think better, I could not imagine anyone better suited to the task than Beau." Vice President, External Relations, CANARIE
