On this episode of the Ideagen Global Leadership Summit, recorded live at NASDAQ during UNGA 2025, George talks with Mark Fitzgerald of KPMG about the future of global leadership in an era defined by disruption. They discuss the four dominant themes shaping the world today: security, global health, technology and AI, and climate sustainability. Mark breaks down new insights from KPMG’s annual CEO survey, the multi-trillion-dollar investment wave in AI, the global war for tech talent, and the coming power and infrastructure demands driven by data centers and machine learning.
Mark also explains why trust, regulation, and ethics will define the next phase of AI adoption, how governments are preparing for new models of G2G and G2C digital service, and why leadership now requires both courage and clarity of purpose. The conversation closes with a powerful call to action for global citizens, organizations, and policymakers to think beyond borders and contribute to solutions aligned with human progress.
