Andrew Blau

Andrew leads Eminence and Insights for Deloitte Consulting, where he helps develop and sharpen Deloitte’s perspectives on the most important issues shaping organizations and markets. Previously, he launched and led Deloitte’s Strategic Risk Solutions practice, created to help senior executives and boards spot and prepare for disruption and other threats to their competitive position and business model. He also served as senior advisor to the Chief Strategy Officer, guiding internal efforts to develop and refine strategy for Deloitte and many of its practice areas.

His advisory work has ranged widely across topics and sectors, covering issues from the future of global commerce to the future of transportation, the future of energy, the future of media, and the future of health and healthcare. He led the team that created “The World Remade by COVID-19,” which imagined how the global pandemic could change business and society in the 2020s, and co-led the team that produced “The Equity Imperative,” Deloitte’s 2021 POV about the role of business in promoting a more equitable society.

He joined Deloitte in 2013 as a partner in The Monitor Group, a global strategy consultancy, and CEO of Global Business Network, famous for the use of scenarios and other tools that help organizations thrive in a complex, uncertain environment. In that role, he led the largest dedicated scenario practice in the world, helping leaders in industry, government, and philanthropy develop new strategies and prepare for a fast-changing world.

He has testified before the US Congress and published and lectured internationally about the trends shaping business and society. He was also the founding president of the board of directors of WITNESS, an international human rights organization founded by the musician Peter Gabriel, and has served on numerous other nonprofit boards and advisory groups.
