Joshua Klein

Joshua Klein defines himself as a hacker of all things. He is a technologist with an insatiable curiosity who tackles social systems, computer networks, institutions, consumer hardware and even animal behavior, seeking to hack the rules to generate value and innovation. He gained worldwide recognition for his fascinating project that involved the design of a vending machine to train crows, animals known for their intelligence, to collect coins found in the environment and introduce them into the machine in exchange for food, an initiative that explored the incredible adaptability of these birds.

Throughout his career, he has specialized in translating complex technological ideas into practical strategies for business leaders. He has worked as a technologist at Frog Design, contributing to the development of mobile applications, health-related systems and other tools that seek to improve people's lives. At the corporate level, he has been a key advisor to high-profile clients, including Google, IBM, Microsoft, UNICEF and Pfizer, on topics ranging from cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin to the impact of Big Data, 3D printing and the Internet of Things.

Klein has also made his mark in the publishing world with several books that reflect his vision of "hacking" as applied to different disciplines. He is the author of Hacking Work, a business book that focuses on how employees can intelligently break rules to empower themselves and their company. In addition, he wrote Reputation Economics, a work that explores social development and how reputation has become a vital currency in the digital and social media age.

As a speaker, he is in demand internationally. He has presented at prestigious venues such as the TED Mainstage conference, the Davos meeting of the World Economic Forum, and elite universities such as Stanford and MIT. Currently, he is CEO of Indigometrics, a company dedicated to management analysis and the measurement of organizational culture.
