A recreational drug overdose. He had spent years searching for a tribe after boarding school, and found it in the party scene. One night, the party went too far.

He sat on his bed for two hours, struggling to breathe. Then he walked into his father's room and told him he loved him. Then he collapsed in his mother's arms.

What happened next does not fit easily into words.

He left his body. He floated above and watched the ambulance arrive, not from inside the house, but from somewhere outside time and space entirely. He met an omnipresent version of himself. Not a god. Not a separate being. Himself, but infinite. And he experienced a love so total that nothing in ordinary life comes close to describing it.

He was given a choice: stay, or come back.

He saw his mother. And for the first time, he understood, not in his mind but in his body, that she loved him. He came back for her.

He returned with one knowing he has never been able to unknow: that we are all one. Individual experiences of a singular consciousness. There is no part where we are not, and when we act on one part thinking it will not affect another, we are wrong.

That knowing changed everything. It did not replace the businessman, the strategist, the technologist. It infused them. Every boardroom, every stage, every conversation about the future of technology is shaped by the perspective of someone who has seen what lies beyond it.

About Thomas

Want to work together?

Whether you need a speaker or an advisor, the next step is a conversation.

Not another futurist with a slide deck.

There are plenty of technology speakers who can walk your audience through the latest AI trends. Thomas does something different. He changes the lens your audience uses to look at those trends.

With thirty years of enterprise technology experience across IBM, SAP, and AI transformation advisory, Thomas does not speculate about the future of work. He has spent three decades building it. And the near-death experience at twenty-one is not a gimmick. It is the reason his perspective on artificial intelligence and leadership lands differently from every other speaker on the circuit.

Your audience will not leave with a list of AI tools. They will leave with a shift in how they think about what technology is actually for.

Frequently asked questions

Most organisations are stuck.

They have bought the tools. They have run the pilots. They have sent their teams to a one-day AI workshop. And nothing has changed.

The problem is not the technology. It is the gap between the technology and the humans who are supposed to use it. Thomas calls it the consciousness gap, and it is where most AI investments go to die.

Closing that gap requires a different approach to AI adoption: one that starts with the humans, works outward to the strategy, and only then moves to implementation.

Fixed pricing. No surprises.

Every engagement is scoped and priced before work begins. You receive a clear proposal with a fixed fee, defined deliverables, and an agreed timeline. No hourly rates. No open-ended retainers. No scope creep.

Investment starts from $4,000 + GST for workshops. Advisory and pod engagements are scoped individually.

You know AI matters. You have probably sat through a webinar, read a dozen articles, and heard every vendor in the market explain why their tool is the answer. But none of that has told you what AI actually means for your specific business, where your real vulnerabilities are, and what you should do first. That is what this session is for.

What you get

A 90-minute, one-to-one session with Thomas Green, technology futurist and AI strategy advisor. Before the session, you complete a short questionnaire so Thomas can prepare specifically for your business. During the session, Thomas maps your current AI position, identifies your three most significant AI vulnerabilities, and builds a prioritised action plan for the next 90 days.

Within five business days, you receive your AI Strategy Briefing: a personalised document that your leadership team can act on immediately. Not a generic report. Not a sales pitch. A clear-eyed assessment of where you stand and what to do next.

Who this is for

Founders and CEOs who know they need an AI strategy but are not sure where to start. Leadership teams making technology investment decisions in the next six to twelve months. Businesses already using AI tools but lacking a coherent strategy. Executives who want an independent, vendor-neutral perspective before committing to a direction.

What makes this different

Thomas Green has spent thirty years in enterprise technology, including roles at IBM and SAP, running AI transformation programs, and advising leadership teams across retail, financial services, and technology. He is not selling a platform. He is not aligned with any vendor. His only interest is telling you the truth about where AI fits your business and where it does not.

About the book

At twenty-one, Thomas Green died. A near-death experience that took him beyond the body, beyond time, and into a direct encounter with consciousness itself.

He came back. And he spent the next thirty years inside the machinery of global business: building enterprise technology at IBM and SAP, navigating digital transformation, pioneering AI strategy for leadership teams, and trying to understand why the most powerful technology in human history keeps being deployed by humans who have not done the work to use it wisely.

The Futurist Who Died is the story of that journey. What happens when someone who has seen what lies beyond death returns to help the world navigate the most consequential technology since fire. It is a book about AI, about consciousness, about the future of work, and about the question nobody in technology wants to answer: what is all of this actually for?

Why this book, why now

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than our understanding of ourselves. We are building increasingly powerful tools without interrogating the nature of the operator. The consciousness gap between what AI can do and what we understand about the humans deploying it is the defining challenge of this generation.

Thomas Green is the only technology futurist alive who can write this book. Not because of his three decades in enterprise technology, though that grounds every page. Because of where he has been that no other technologist has: the other side of death, and back again with a knowing that changes everything about how you see the future.
