I'm Johann Roduit, a bioethics expert turned innovation strategist. I use ethical thinking to shape the future. As a founding partner at Conexkt, a certified B Corp innovation studio, I work to weave ethics into the heart of technological innovation and design. I aim to help clients imagine new futures and create positive community impacts.
In my previous life, I delved deep into academia, developing a comprehensive understanding of human enhancement ethics and transhumanism. Now, I apply this knowledge in the practical world of innovation and technology. The question that drives me is what it means to be human in a world that is constantly evolving due to technology.
Beyond the boardroom, I have a passion for science communication. I co-founded neurhone, an organization that inspires the public through events like TEDxMartigny and the Carnotzets Scientifiques. Currently, I'm also involved in several SciComm projects, including TEDxAbbotsford.
As a regular columnist, I enjoy sharing my thoughts with a wider audience. I invite you to join me in shaping a more ethical and innovative future!
