Alan Moore has designed and created everything from books to businesses. He has a unique grasp on the forces that are reshaping our world and how to creatively respond to them. Working on six continents, Alan has shared his knowledge in the form of board and advisory positions at companies such as Hewlett Packard, Microsoft and Coca Cola, holding workshops and speaking as well as teaching in institutions as wide-ranging as MIT, Sloan School of Management and INSEAD. He is the author of five books on creativity, marketing and business transformation including Do Build: How to make and lead a business the world needs (Do Books, 2021). He still works as an artist and tries everyday to lead a life as beautifully as he possibly can.
