Mr. Swenson is open to independently write, co-author, commentate on radio or T.V., or be a source for journalists. He is also open to speaking at companies, universities, non-profits, think tanks, and at private events on a selective basis. He can be a moderator, speaker, or panel member. If you are looking for a non-big-four opinion from someone with an exceptionally amazing background, with varied roles and responsibilities in business and a track record of authentic leadership and innovative thinking and writing, he offers the best millennial / xennial commentary from a disruptive thinking perspective. He has been an “outside the box” thinker his entire life. He knows leadership by going with the flow is the biggest mass social-cultural fallacy of modern times and that it is far more dangerous than most people realize. He has charisma, style, great speaking and story-telling skills, and he bridges gaps between diverse stakeholders to derive creative thoughts.
