Dhiraj Mukherjee is a keynote speaker on leadership and artificial intelligence who helped grow Shazam from concept to over 100 billion uses before its acquisition by Apple. The Financial Times named him one of Europe's Top 50 technology entrepreneurs.
Since Shazam's sale, Dhiraj has invested in more than 250 AI and technology start-ups, including OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT. He has an MBA from Stanford Business School and advises corporations including UBS, Eli Lilly, Unilever, and PwC on building organisations that embrace adaptability as a core competency. Previously, Dhiraj held senior roles in financial services, technology, and media and entertainment.
Dhiraj's 35 years of company building, combined with his portfolio spanning 250 investments, gives him direct insight into both long-term strategic thinking and practical implementation. He has recently engaged with policymakers and regulators across the Middle East and Asia on building resilient AI ecosystems, including speaking at Fintech Forward Bahrain and participating in the Seoul Future Conference. This positions him as a top voice at the intersection of leadership, policy, and emerging technology.
Audiences learn how to systematically create organisations that learn, evolve, and reinvent themselves rather than react to disruption after it occurs. Dhiraj provides concrete frameworks for embedding adaptability into company culture, along with immediate actions executives can implement. His talks combine practical experience from building an iconic company with first-hand foresight of innovation trends and business models shaping the future.
