Amir Elion is an AI strategist, innovation leader, and keynote speaker with 25 years of experience helping organizations turn bold ideas into real results.

He spent years inside companies like Amazon, Motorola, and Teva — not theorizing about innovation, but building programs, running workshops, and shipping products. As a former Amazon innovation lead and Director of Products at two startups (in learning tech and VR/AR), he brings a rare combination of corporate depth and startup agility.

Today, Amir helps business leaders stop treating AI as a science project and start treating it as a strategic business tool. He serves as AI Thematic Lead at Innovationsledarna (Sweden's Innovation Leaders Association), shaping how Sweden's top innovators approach artificial intelligence. He is also co-founder of Global Green Action Day.

His talks are grounded in practice — not hype. Whether it's a keynote on AI strategy, a hands-on Working Backwards workshop, or a deep dive into AI agents for executives, Amir customizes every session to the audience's industry and maturity level.

Trusted by teams at Novo Nordisk, Volvo Group, Adobe, Johnson & Johnson, Booking.com, and others. Speaker at Tech Arena, Kalmar Tech Heads, Stockholm Tech Show, Innovation Leaders Association, PMI Annual event and more.

Selected speaking topics:
1. Business Value with AI: A practical three-tier framework for AI value creation: boosting productivity, creating new value through AI-enhanced products, and preparing for disruption.
2. AI Agents - What Executives Need to Know: What agents actually are, what they can and can't do, and what the strategic implications are for your organization.
3. Innovate Like Amazon: The Working Backwards methodology - start from the customer and work backward. Hands-on, not a lecture about Amazon.
4. AI-Powered Products: From identifying a customer problem to a working prototype in hours using no-code and AI tools. Product thinking meets vibe coding.
5. Building Mechanisms for Scale: Good intentions don't work - mechanisms do. Repeatable processes that drive scale, quality, and continuous improvement.
