Prof. dr. Cor Molenaar puts people in the centre of all the changes that are occuring in society and companies. There is no such thing as a technology push. People started to change because of the new technology; the Internet hype proved that people have to accept those techniques and want to change. A changing society, new challenges for companies, internationalisation and an enormous need for commu-nication between people are examples of this change. Application of new techniques like the Internet, cellular phones and new chips (to be read from a distance) are making the changes possible. But what is really happening? What are the chances and threats you will come across as a human being, an entrepreneur or a customer? The tension between sociology, technology and marketing is the field of prof. Molenaar. He is conducting academical research on this matter, but is also advising companies. His book 'eStrategy' (2000) has been translated into six languages. His book 'The impact of the I-culture' was nominated for the title Best Management book 2003. His latest books "The end of shops?" and "Why we prefer a smartphone rather than a car" was [ublished in Dutch and English He is currently professor at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, specialising in e-marketing, supply chain integration and customer shopping behaviour (online and retail) and advices various respectable companies Cor Molenaar is a dynamic speaker, a brilliant strategist, and brings tremendous know-how with his impressive presentations.

I am an expert with almost two decades of experience in ethics applied to business. I started out with a PhD on business ethics and subsequently worked as a lecturer and researcher at leading European business schools. About 7 years ago I founded my own consulting company. I am now working independently as a consultant, speaker, and lecturer on ethics, responsibility and sustainability with a specific focus on tech and finance. I have been repeatedly recognized as an influential voice on all matters related to AI ethics. I have an excellent track record of speaking in front of different audiences (from corporate boards, to shareholders, employees but also students and the wider public) and stand out with my thought-provoking, authentic way of presenting. In 2021, my TedX speech on “AI – freedom within, freedom without” was released. I am also a popular guest on interviews, podcasts and web shows across the world. I have an impressive portfolio of public appearances and enjoy an ever-increasing interest in my opinion. The red thread through all my work is ethics. I am passionate about applying ethics to all kinds of business contexts, particularly but not exclusively, in tech and finance. People often feel uncomfortable talking about ethics. My mission is to enter a company, a classroom, or a stage, and take away that unease. Feedback from the audience suggest that I succeed in doing this.
