Garry Kasparov is a global icon of strategy, resilience, and intellectual excellence. Widely considered the greatest chess player of all time, Kasparov held the World Chess Championship from 1985 to 2000 and remains a symbol of visionary thinking and relentless performance.
Since retiring from professional chess, Kasparov has become a powerful advocate for democracy, individual freedom, and human rights. As chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, he works to promote democratic values and expose authoritarianism around the world. His fearless political activism, particularly in opposition to Vladimir Putin’s regime, has earned him international recognition and respect.
Beyond politics, Kasparov is a leading thinker on artificial intelligence, human-machine collaboration, and the future of innovation. His books, including Deep Thinking and How Life Imitates Chess, explore how strategy, pattern recognition, and decision-making under pressure apply to business, technology, and life.
As a speaker, Kasparov blends captivating storytelling with sharp analysis, helping leaders and organizations see beyond the obvious, navigate uncertainty, and act boldly. His insights draw from decades of high-level competition, geopolitical experience, and a deep understanding of the intersection between human potential and technological change.
