Global relations guru, Tom Faranda has been making surprising yet accurate forecasts about economics and politics for over 25 years. Having lived and worked around the world for three decades, Tom has access to extensive insider information regarding business moves and trends, enabling him to correctly forecast events that most other analysts don’t see coming.
An entrepreneur, business consultant, and futurist, Tom’s clients span five continents. As an executive he has owned hotels in Costa Rica and the U.S., a pepper gas business in South Africa, an ATM firm, a global software firm, a mobile home venture in S. Africa and a global consulting firm focused on business growth, profit, and other ventures.
Named one of “America’s most exciting speakers” by Meetings & Conventions magazine, Tom is a global executive with much to say and the style and substance to say it.
Tom Faranda was named one of the most exciting speakers in America by Meetings & Conventions Magazine due to his high content, ′bottom-line′ programs packed with examples, stories and global humor. He is the former President of The Hospital Corporation of Chicago, the former National Accounts Sales Manager for The Masonite Corporation and a former candidate for the United States Senate.
His books include The Global Sales Professional and Uncommon Sense Leadership, and he has published over one hundred business articles. Tom Faranda has the credibility and experience audiences respect and demand in a featured speaker. He has earned a BS, an MBA in International Business and a Doctorate (abd). He has been a guest lecturer for universities in South Africa, the UK, Australia and was an adjunct faculty professor of business at the University of Minnesota.
Few speakers know the global world as well as Tom Faranda. His clients have included Siemen′s Engineering Germany, IBM Europe, Siemens Medical South Africa, Thermo-King Japan, Ford Canada, GE, Prudential Singapore, Creative Communications India, St. Tom USVI, INTEL, Motorola, 3M, IBM, Honeywell and other corporations.
As an adventurer, Tom Faranda has climbed some of the tallest mountains around the world. He has raced 100 mile cycling events, competed in triathlons, duathlons, 100k ski races and many other events. He is a pilot, SCUBA diver, river rafter and mountain climber. He donates his time as a board member for several music and theatre arts organizations in the Phoenix area.
Tom Faranda predicts the biggest shifts the world will see both economically and politically within the next decade, drawing credibility from his record of accurate forecasts. “I also predicted that China would surpass Japan to become the number two country in the world by the end of 2010,” he reminds the audience.
Some of the events Tom foresees happening include Alberta succeeding from Canada and joining the U.S., India catching up to Chinese GDP numbers, and potential conflicts surrounding Taiwan. “If we continue our stance that we are going to support the Taiwan independence, look for a major financial international warfare incident,” he warns.
“70% of all corporate profits will come from the China India market,” Tom Faranda states, explaining why the Chinese markets will be the most important for the next 20 years. A country that’s increasing its population by 7 million people per year, China demonstrates consistent demand for ongoing development and its citizens aren’t afraid to take risks to make those developments happen.
Citing entrepreneurship as a cornerstone of the country’s 5,000-year-old history and culture, Tom affirms, “You do not need to teach the Chinese entrepreneurship or gambling. And that’s why they make great entrepreneurs. They’re willing to gamble and risk and make things happen in their cities and their countries.”

His global examples, bottom-line techniques, stories and humor create a compelling experience which motivates leaders to use his new ideas. He challenges the participants and makes them part of the program.
