Julian Mancia

I get my energy from challenging established orthodoxies to create new things, and learning from and mentoring productively impatient people. As Managing Director and Futures Practice Lead for ?What If! Innovation, acquired by Accenture in 2019, I’ve channeled these passions into shaping future-focused strategies and designing breakthrough products for clients, and leading an 80-person creative agency. Throughout my decade at ?What If!, I've been lucky enough to work with some of the world's most iconic brands, including Disney, Google, FedEx, AB InBev, CHANEL, and jetBlue. Outside "the office", what is consistent are my attempts to relive my hockey glory years on rinks and ponds across the US, and just plain live while improving my skills as a private pilot. What is not are the plethora of other hobbies that inevitably turnover every 3 months.
