Thought Leader Profile
Evan Anderson
CEO, FiRe | INVNT/IP
Evan Anderson serves as deputy director of Programs for the Future in Review (FiRe) conference, named by the Economist as "the best technology conference in the world." At Future in Review, Evan utilizes media and technology to affect positive global change, crafting and assisting with conference panels, the FiRe Action Tank, and other special projects dedicated to geopolitics, climate, and health, including battling the COVID-19 pandemic. Evan seeks to use the platforms and resources at his disposal to fight for a more just, equitable, and positive future for both humanity and the living creatures with whom we share our world.
Evan concurrently is CEO of INVNT/IP (Inventing Nations vs. Nation-Sponsored Theft of IP). For the past 10 years, his focus at INVNT/IP has been on actively fighting nation-sponsored theft of intellectual property through a combination of political advocacy, private briefings, and public education in conjunction with top global companies; government representatives in intelligence, research, and policy; and top academic researchers.
In addition, Evan is a senior analyst at Strategic News Service, publisher of the weekly SNS Global Report on Technology and the Global Economy. From early 2020 to 2022, he was the author of the Viral Economy, a biweekly SNS publication dedicated to informing the public about the novel coronavirus and its effect on the world. In the VE, Evan predicted the onset of the global pandemic, the ensuing 2020 market crash, several new variant waves, the resulting inflation crisis, and many other ripple effects, often months before they happened.
Evan's seminal briefing book Theft Nation: How IP Theft Drives the Chinese National Business Model, and Its Effect Upon the Global Economy has been featured in global media including 60 Minutes, the BBC World Service, and many others. His most recent book, Disengagement: Moving Beyond Reactionary China Policy to a Better World, was published by FiReBooks in May 2023.
Since 2011, Evan has been closely engaged, both in the field and from home, with Ti Kay Haiti, an organization dedicated to delivering DOTS-plus TB and HIV care to underprivileged communities in Port-au-Prince. He has worked on various projects to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and serves as an executive advisory board member at the Resilient Collective. He holds a BA in Cultural Anthropology with a minor in International Relations from the University of British Columbia. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
