Biography

Anders is a reformed lawyer, an avid social commentator, and a somewhat funky thinker. He is the Creative Director and founder of the consultancy Thinque. Swedish by design, Germanic by schooling, and Australian by choice, he is a linguistic gymnast who challenges his audiences to upgrade the way they think. A self-described cultural transvestite, Anders draws on a smorgasbord of international ideas and trends to inspire ideas and facilitate conversations.

Anders is an expert on generational trends, thought leadership branding, and innovation. He is the author of ‘Thinque Funky: Upgrade Your Thinking’ (2009), ‘Future Thinking: a trend spotting report’ (2008), the ‘Gen Y 2.0 Limegreen Paper: from awareness to funky solutions’ (2007) and creator of the podcast series ‘Thinque’s Espresso Shot’.

His keynotes, Thinque Tanks and consulting provide GPS directions for individual and organisational brands that want to successfully navigate a constantly changing business landscape and successfully position their intellectual property in a whacky world.

He works with an innovative portfolio of brands including Dow Jones and Fortune 500 companies, and some of the leading organisations on BusinessWeek/Interbrand’s Best Global Brands Ranking.

When he is not travelling or working, Anders likes to upgrade his own male thinking in the kitchen by attempting to cook multiple dishes at once, contemplating the merits of compulsory siestas, and potty-training his 3-year old kitten, Finnegan.
