J.J. Marasigan is the author of The Fourth Wave: Humanity’s Last Competitive Edge and founder of The Fourth Wave Lab, a consulting practice helping leaders, educators, and organizations thrive in the age of artificial intelligence. A U.S. Navy officer, human resources strategist, and international education leader, J.J. draws on a career that spans talent strategy, cross-cultural leadership, and technology ethics. His work challenges readers to reclaim what makes us most human—our judgment, creativity, and moral courage—in an era where machines can outthink us in speed but never in meaning. Whether on stage, in print, or in the classroom, J.J. delivers a clear message: the future will belong to those who know how to think with the machine, not against it.
