A former Global Managing Partner at IBM, Andrew is a regular contributor to BBC Television and Radio, and has appeared on Sky News, Channel 4, UKTV, in the Financial Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Economist, and the Australian Financial Review.

He is also the host of the popular Digitally Curious Podcast.

An Andrew Grill keynote speaker booking brings audiences a rare combination of engineering rigour and board-level business experience. Holding a Master of Engineering and an MBA, Andrew has delivered more than 600 keynotes in over 50 countries on topics ranging from generative AI and quantum computing to digital transformation and the future of work. He is ranked among the world’s top 10 futurist speakers and was recognised on the AI 100 UK List in 2025 as one of the country’s leading voices in responsible Artificial Intelligence.

Beyond his podcast, Andrew is the author of the book Digitally Curious, a practical guide to navigating the future of AI and technology for business leaders.
