John Higgins Cbe is a Chair at Global Digital Foundation. He possess expertise in business strategy, change management, government, governance, business development and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "John provided a clear, insightful and thought-provoking presentation at the first Annual Meeting of IFRA - The International Fragrance Association in November 2017. His long experience and deep understanding of the role of tech companies in a 'fake news, post-truth world' opened up a different dimension to the topic for our members. John's presentation and contributions to the question-and-answer session helped IFRA members to understand the impact of the digital world on their business, not only on social media and messaging but also on issues such as algorithms, data and artificial intelligence. In preparation for the meeting, John was collaborative, asked the right questions, and took care to try to understand the audience and its needs. He engaged well with the topic, the audience and the other speakers. I would recommend him as a speaker." and "John Higgins has played a critical and highly influential role shaping the debate about the EU’ s Digital Single Market in Brussels and beyond. John was well placed therefore to introduce the opportunities of digital to the audience of the 5th International WEEE Forum Conference in Malta in April 2017. He got the conference off to a great start, vividly describing some of the major opportunities and challenges that digitisation and innovation can bring, in particular for a truly circular economy and improved resource efficiency."
