Allister Frost

Allister Frost is a distinguished authority on business transformation and the psychology of change. As the first-ever Head of Digital Marketing at Microsoft, he spearheaded the global launch strategies for iconic brands including Windows and Office. This followed a successful career in the consumer goods sector at Kimberly-Clark, where he managed household names such as Andrex and Kleenex. This rare transition from traditional manufacturing to the cutting edge of software development allows him to offer a sophisticated perspective on how technological shifts influence human behaviour in both personal and professional spheres. Now a sought-after consultant for major organisations including GE Healthcare, Vodafone, and the BBC, Allister focuses on helping leaders navigate the intersection of people and technology. He is the developer of the 5 Steps to Success in a World of Change, a practical framework designed to foster a beginner’s mind and encourage a flexible, forward-thinking culture. By examining the impact of human progress on growth, he identifies how companies can gain a competitive advantage by responding positively to disruption. Allister is booked for his ability to translate complex digital trends into clear strategies for organisational resilience. His presentations provide audiences with the necessary tools to embrace new possibilities, ensuring they remain relevant and capable of thriving in a rapidly evolving global marketplace.
