Biography

For more than twenty years, Grégory Pouy has explored the transformations reshaping society, organisations and our relationship with work.

Understanding a changing world

From digital transformation to AI, leadership and ecology, he connects technology, sociology, economics and human behaviour to shed light on the major shifts of our time. His ambition is to understand what is changing before it becomes obvious.

Making the future desirable again

Faced with crises, uncertainty and disengagement, he rejects both catastrophism and naive optimism. He advocates an "optimalist" approach: looking reality in the face while preserving our ability to act.

Vlan!: listening to those shaping tomorrow

Creator and host of Vlan! and Vlan! Leadership, Grégory Pouy has spent nearly a decade interviewing researchers, intellectuals, entrepreneurs and business leaders. His podcasts have generated more than 25 million listens across hundreds of episodes.

International experience

He has delivered more than 500 conferences in 25 countries across 5 continents, including TEDx, SXSW, Adobe Summit, Web2Day and Les Napoleons. He speaks in both French and English for executive audiences and major corporate events.

Hosting conversations that matter

Hundreds of interviews have taught him how to listen, challenge, clarify and bring out the strongest ideas. He can host an event, conduct an executive interview, moderate a debate or lead a panel discussion, bringing pace, curiosity and depth to every conversation.

Understand the world ahead and rediscover the desire to act.
