Thomas Frey is the Executive Director of DaVinci Institute based in Westminster, Colarado in the United States. Over the last decade Thomas has built an enormous following based on his ability to develop accurate visions of the future and describe the opportunities ahead.
Having started 17 businesses himself and assisting on the development of hundreds more, the understanding he will bring to the Australian cotton audience will serve as a rare blend of reality-based thinking coupled with a clear-headed visualisation of the world ahead.
Predicting the future has little value without understanding the driving forces behind the trends, subtle nuances that can be leveraged, and implications for both the people directly affected in the industry as well as others farther down the technological food and fibre chain.
Before launching DaVinci Insitute, Tom spent 15 years at IBM as an engineer and designer where he received over 270 awards, more than any other IBM engineer. He is also a past member of the Triple Nine Society.
