Shaping the Future, Connecting Generations: Marlow D. Guttmann Translates Change into Clarity

Marlow D. Guttmann is a keynote speaker, people and organizational development expert, university lecturer, and published author. He is regarded as one of the most sought-after young voices on artificial intelligence in the context of ethics, leadership, the future of work, and Generation Z.

The central question guiding his work is: How can organizations harness technological progress without losing sight of the people behind it?

He does not view artificial intelligence as merely a technology issue. His keynotes explore responsibility, trust, organizational culture, and the human skills that employees and leaders need to succeed in an increasingly digital workplace.

From New Zealand to Italy and Sweden: Shaped by International Perspectives

Marlow D. Guttmann has lived and studied in New Zealand, Italy, and Sweden. These international experiences continue to shape his perspective on leadership, collaboration, cultural diversity, and societal transformation.

After completing an interdisciplinary degree focusing on law, human resource management, and psychology, he earned a Master’s degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from Lund University in Sweden. His professional experience includes working as a consultant for a leading Danish management consultancy, founding his own ventures, and collaborating with start-ups. These experiences sharpened his understanding of innovation, entrepreneurial thinking, and the realities of organizational transformation from an early stage in his career.

As a university lecturer and mentor, he connects scientific research with the questions of a generation that is redefining work, responsibility, leadership, and personal development. His particular strength lies in bringing together perspectives that are too often considered separately: law and ethics, research and organizational practice, technological innovation and human needs.

People and Organizational Development for More Than 7,500 Employees

At the Evangelische Stiftung Alsterdorf, one of Hamburg’s major social services organizations, Marlow D. Guttmann helps shape key areas of people and organizational development. His work reaches an organization comprising more than 7,500 employees and twelve subsidiaries.

Among other responsibilities, he develops learning and development initiatives, manages the organization-wide leadership development program, supports emerging talent, and explores how learning, leadership, and collaboration can be designed for the future within complex organizations.

As a result, he understands transformation not only through research, studies, and future forecasts. He experiences every day how organizational change actually unfolds, where resistance emerges, and what people need to embrace new ways of working.

Taking Responsibility, Not Merely Talking About It

Beyond his professional role, Marlow D. Guttmann actively contributes to society. He serves as an honorary judge at the Social Court of Hamburg and is the co-founder and president of Rotaract Hamburg International, Hamburg’s first international Rotaract Club and part of Rotary International.

The club brings together young people from different countries, promotes intercultural exchange and leadership development, and contributes to society through social impact projects. He also volunteers as a mentor and serves in an honorary governance role at Lund University in Sweden.

As an author, he regularly publishes articles in leading German HR and business magazines. His work focuses on leadership, intergenerational collaboration, people development, organizational culture, and responsible artificial intelligence.

These experiences directly inform his keynotes. His presentations combine personal stories, scientific research, and practical insights from real-world organizational development.
