The Great Rewrite

Called a “a leader of the new world order”, Leonard Brody was recently named one of top 30 management thinkers in the world. He is an award-winning entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and bestselling author, and a two-time Emmy-nominated media visionary. Brody has helped raise hundreds of millions in capital for startup companies, taken a company to a six billion market cap IPO, and been involved in the founding and successful exit of numerous companies to date. In his compelling, customized talks — with clients ranging from the United Nations to Visa and Pepsi — Brody addresses the rapid pace of change, innovation, and disruption facing us all, and what to do about it.

After selling his company in 2009, Brody became the president of the Innovation and Digital Group for the Anschutz Company, one of the largest live sport and entertainment businesses in the world. The company owns assets such as the O2 Arena in London and Staples Center in LA; sports teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Galaxy, and the Los Angeles Kings; and is one of the premiere concert promotion businesses in the world, seating hundreds of millions of people a year.

Today, Brody is the co-founder and executive chairman of Caravan, a joint venture with CAA (Creative Artists Agency), the largest sports and entertainment agency in the world. He oversees the building of new ventures for some of the most well-known celebrities and political leaders in the world like Carrie Underwood, Tom Hanks, and President Joe Biden. Brody is also one of the proud owners of the professional soccer team Coventry City in England.

Brody is also working on a new book in partnership with Forbes magazine entitled The Great Re:Write. It is based on the successful documentary series Brody and Forbes produced, which garnered an audience of over 7 million in the last year. He holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts from Queens University, a law degree from Osgoode Hall, and is a graduate of the Private Equity Program at the Harvard Business School.

Client reviews

  • Leonard’s talk was extremely interesting and thought provoking, the talk delivered very well with some great humor, and very well received by those in the room. Leonard also took the time to adapt the implications of the Great Rewrite to sectors important to our attendees, which helped bring the lessons to them. We heard buzz around rest of the event from it. So we are very happy our end. Definitely a step above your usual ‘futurist’ trend spotters.

  • I have had the opportunity of working directly with Leonard Brody on a workshop presentation for a large North American Conference hosted by the Conference Board. It was a true pleasure working with him. The subject was “branding” and Leonard’s unique perspective on “building your brand from the inside out, by focusing obsessively on your people” won the audience over. We subsequently invited Leonard to participate in a panel hosted by Towers Perrin for our top North American clients, and Leonard once again received excellent ratings for both the quality of his ideas and his platform presence.

  • Leonard Brody gave us the perfect start to our conference – he really set the mood and tone for the rest of the event by giving our delegates a positive and energetic analysis on Canada’s performance and reputation. For once a Canadian was being boastful about the country and since our delegates have to market Canada internationally, this was an ideal opening to the conference.

  • Your engaging and informative keynote presentation contributed to the overall success of our national conference and was very much appreciated by attendees. In fact, the vast majority of attendees who completed the evaluation form rated your presentation as “very good” to “excellent” with respect to content, presentation style and applicability.
