MARTIN CALNAN

UNESCO Chair Futures Literacy and Director of Executive Education École des Ponts Business School

Martin has an eclectic background. His professional journey, spanning over 25 years, has taken him from marketing of luxury products to founding a digital agency, by way of developing indoor climbing centers and consulting… A not so direct, but maybe fitting, trajectory to his present role as Director of Executive Education at Ecole des Ponts Business School in Paris, where he has the enviable mission of creating new and transformative experiences for executives around the world.

He is also the chaired professor of futures literacy of the UNESCO Chair for the Future of Finance at the business school.

Martin holds a Bachelors degree from Stanford University and an MBA from Bocconi University in Milan. He is currently a doctoral candidate researching the impact of anticipation in our ability to change, as individuals, organizations and society.
