Simon Torrance - platform strategy expert and Executive Producer of Platform Strategy Summit

Simon Torrance is one of the world’s leading experts on Agentic AI and its strategic deployment.
He is the founder of AI Risk, a specialist innovation firm focused on the effective deployment of new digital workforces that transform the fundamental economics of firms. While most organisations remain stuck at Level 1 AI maturity, running pilots with chatbots and copilots, Simon’s work focuses on more advanced forms of Agentic AI such as Agentic Teams: autonomous AI systems that work alongside humans to deliver 3-10x capacity expansion at a fraction of traditional costs. His approach helps companies to build proprietary AI capabilities they own outright, creating appreciating strategic assets rather than renting solutions, which competitors can access too.
Simon is a member of a number of World Economic Forum agenda councils and a guest lecturer at Singularity University. He is a senior adviser to leaders and executive teams in sectors including financial services, insurance, TMT and biotech.
He is the author of ‘Fightback – How to win in the Digital Economy’ and of many popular industry frameworks, including: The Agentic AI Accelerator, The AI Maturity Model, The Agentic AI Enterprise Blueprint, and The Agentic AI Stack.
Simon is a sought-after keynote speaker on Agentic AI and business model transformation at events such as the Financial Times Future of AI Summit, Insurtech Insights, MIT Digital Economy Summit, United Nations ITU Summit, CDO Global Summit, Rise of the Agents, and InsureNXT, as well as at internal corporate events for companies such as Allianz and AXA.
