Martin Calnan
Martin Calnan Chair
UNESCO Chair for Futures Literacy (FAST)

Martin has an eclectic background. His professional journey has taken him from marketing of luxury products to founding a digital agency, by way of developing indoor climbing centers and consulting… A not so direct, but maybe fitting trajectory to his present role as Director of Executive Education at Ecole des Ponts Business School in Paris, where he has the enviable mission of creating new and transformative experiences for executives around the world. He is also the chaired professor of the UNESCO Chair in Futures Literacy, which is the field of futures studies that focuses seeing the emergent, beyond the confines of our experience and trying to predict, and therefore control the future.
