Ryan Mathews, founder and ceo of Black Monk Consulting is a globally recognized futurist, speaker and storyteller.
Ryan is also a best selling author, a successful international consultant and a sought after commentator on topics
as diverse as innovation, technology, global consumer trends and retailing. He and his work have been profiled in
a number of periodicals including Wired, which labeled him a philosopher of e-commerce and Red Herring, which said
of him, "It's Mr. Mathews' job to ask the hard questions".
|
In April, 2003 Ryan was named as "the futurist to watch" in an article on the 25 most influential people in
demographics over the last 25 years by American Demographics magazine.
His opinions on issues ranging from the future of Internet pornography to ethnic marketing have appeared on the pages
of literally hundreds of newspapers and magazines including the New York Times, the Washington Post,
Business Week, Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, Advertising Age and American Demographics. A
veteran journalist, Ryan has written cover stories for Fast Company and other leading magazines has been a frequent
contributor to National Public Radio's Marketplace on topics related to innovation. He is widely regarded as an
expert on consumers and their relationship to brands, products, services and the companies that offer them. Ryan has
also done significant work in related areas including supply chain analysis, advertising and new product development.
Ryan is the co-author (with Fred Crawford) of The Myth of Excellence: Why Great Companies Never Try To Be The Best at
Everything (Crown Business), The Deviant's Advantage: How Fringe Ideas Create Mass Markets
(Crown Business) with Watts Wacker, and is currently at work on his third book (again with Fred Crawford),
tentatively titled, "Engagement: Making Sense of Life and Business" which addresses issues
as diverse as a new model of branding and the search for the elusive global consumer.
A frequently requested keynote speaker Ryan has addressed a wide variety of subjects in his speech practice from the
future of beauty to the future of house paint. His audiences have included high technology forums such as
Information Week's CIO Boot Camp and Accenture's E-Business Symposium; consulting audiences including Cap-Gemini,
Ernst & Young and Deloitte & Touche; to consumer goods manufacturers from Sherwin Williams to Procter &
Gamble, Kellogg's, Coca-Cola and numerous others. He has worked and spoken extensively in Europe for clients
including Grey Advertising, Musgrave, Ltd, the British Post and Unilever.
Ryan received his BA from Hope College in Inner Asian history and philosophy and did his graduate work at the
University of Detroit where he studied phenomenological ontology. He is a Kentucky Colonel and his reputation and
experience as a chili authority won him a seat on the International Chili Society's board of directors. He has also
served on the Advisory Board of the Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management at Michigan State
University's Eli Broad College of Business.
