The 2030 Leader - The Future of Work and Human Performance
Kristen Holmes is a human performance strategist working at the intersection of biometric technology, behavioural science, and organisational performance. She works daily with the data that reveals how humans actually perform, decide, and sustain output under real pressure — translating cutting-edge science into practical frameworks leaders can act on.
At a time when organisations are navigating AI disruption, talent pressure, and the limits of what their people can sustain, Kristen brings a rare, evidence-based perspective: the decade ahead will belong to those who understand human performance at a physiological level and build systems accordingly. Her work spans wearables, predictive health, and proactive optimisation — connecting the dots between what the science now makes visible and what high-performing organisations need to do differently.
Kristen's session will challenge leaders to move beyond conventional thinking about productivity and resilience, offering a forward-looking, science-backed case for why physiology — not just psychology — is the next frontier of competitive advantage.
